Much of that labor was child labor (or rather offspring labor--he is 18 now) and mother labor (she came over for a few hours on two days to clean and do little stuff to keep me company), but it's still a lot of time!

Good stuff!

Hi all, I'm in process of negotiating an off-market deal, however, the sellers now say they need money to be able to move themselves and all of their stuff out of the property.

And start thinking about assembling a procedure manual - will you accept pets, how will you recognize a strong candidate, how will you establish the rent amount, that kind of stuff.

@Nathan G.We bought a house almost exactly like that-- stuff was piled up like 3-4 ft high throughout the house, and even in the attic too!    

They have some cool stuff going on   http://sierrabuilders.biz/

Flipper had work done on it in March '21 but in the last couple of months a few external cracks have grown and internal cracks have appeared.

When you get an inspection report if you're not aware of those sorts of things or if you don't have someone guiding you that's aware of that sort of stuff you'll probably just get scared off.

Keeping this stuff separate makes it easier to differentiate between my W2 and personal home expenses and my investing expenses.

Going to Home Depot to price materials, and calling local contractors to get quotes on some of this stuff, is definitely your best option.
