So you cant exactly buy a cheap distressed house that you can add allot of value to, but nothing stoping you from buying an ugly house that is functional but simply never been updated.

I guess I just don't really understand what it means and what it's function or reason for doing so is.

I just want to make sure it functions before I start transitioning everything over to it.

We do have one program that we call a calculator; it's a toolkit of simple functions like loan amortization schedule, income multiplier, six functions of $1, etc.

While I have installed stainless in highed end properties I have been swinging around back to white as a more robust option.

The math is basic, however, and a 4 function calculator and some problem solving experience are all you should need.

I can't recall if there is a fund limit function, i.e. you only have X to spend, stop awarding certificates if you reach that number.If you want to see how bidding goes, look for the results of the last year or two. 

I love the design aspect, between the layout,  taking down walls,  moving things around to optimize functionality is great!  

Rachel Fazio Xero is another popular option, but QBO is certainly the more popular and robust software out there.

Normally they won't finance a handy man special but they may call for repairs if it's still a functional/liveable house (and can get a Certificate of Occupancy from the township, which is usually required for financing).
