Wanting to get deals on buy and holds but have run across a couple of leads generated off my website that seem to be good for flipping but not that great as rentals.So on the  first one I have partnered up with a friend who is a broker and wholesaler so I could learn on this first flip.  

I ended up having G-Mac Construction (great company)  dig the outside of the basement wall down to the footing, I pushed the wall back out as far as I could using the I-beams, I cleaned the wall, I had a rubber coating sprayed on the the wall (a company recommended by G-Mac), I put in drain tile and G-Mac back-filled with sand then dirt.

I am new to real estate but I have been generating leads through my marketing and my website.  

One idea that you can try that won't cost you any money to generate duplex leads (other than your time = money) is to call on rental ads where one of the units is vacant and being advertised.  

But rarely do I bring my photos into photoshop anymore because the iphone has some very basic editing tools built-in that will clean up most photos you take.

I have a handy man that handles all the snow, cleaning, Law mow, small repairs, etc..)

Hi everyoneFirst let me say that I love the forum and I'm new here.I have years of experience when it comes to designing websites and generating online traffic for different niches.

I think its great that people are thinking of over ways of generating an income other than the traditional 9-5 methods.  

For sinks, and tubs, I would think twice if it is for a rental property - you cannot control the cleaning agents the tenants use.

Two out of three bathrooms need new tile, the main bathroom just needs a good cleaning, other than that the plumbing and fixtures are great in all bathrooms.
