What this shows is seller is not very honest.

What you meant to say (I'm sure) is that a few contractors will try to do it without a permit, but not all.If your experience has honestly been that most Contractors are like this, then you have been choosing the wrong Contractors.

The inspector doesn't care whether you purchase the home or not and will give you their honest report.

My goal was to pay off all my debt 160k and fully capitalize myself but honestly a few homes is easy but 25 like you said your margins will shrink.

I turn 40 soon and honestly I feel behind the 8 ball.  

Honestly, you can't buy a closet in Los Angeles for what a house costs in some parts of Berks County. 

Without going into detail, I cashflow $550 per month on this house.When her lease is up, I do want to increase her rent by 100-200 but to be honest, the human aspect of me is battling with the business side of me.

Hi @Brandon Rush,Thank you for your honest opinion and input.

If someone were to ask me that to be honest I have no idea what I would say.

Id love to network, make connections, and even possibly form a JV partnership with experienced fix and flip investors and get my feet wet in the RE industry. i  have 35 years of home repair and remodeling experience ( plumbing, electrical, drywall, siding, kitchen remodel etc.) and i’m offering my skills and services to investors who are looking for a reliable, experienced, and honest partner.
