Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $22,000 Duplex with a 4BR/2BA and 1604 square feet What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Freshly remodeled houses sell for $3-400 a square foot or more depending on the neighborhood.

We have had long term rentals in Westbrook and Washington DC but I have a lot of fun with our STR rentals in OOB and Little Sebago Lake.

No problem, 2200 square ft. house in northern Bergen County.

I have just set up my first real estate investing company in Washington state and among the many things I had to do to get going was registering with the State Department of Revenue.

How much square footage of play/care area per child.

About 4 years ago we could pay a siding sub $40 a square for siding, now its hard to find a guy to do it for under $140 square. 

I understand the need for a permit if you are adding square footage to the house or maybe even adding a bathroom because that way a future buyer has the security of knowing the work was done right but I don’t think, but as a buyer I wouldn’t care if the person selling their house pulled a permit for their backsplash and new cabinets or island as long as it looked good and everything worked as it should.
