What's the cost per square foot installed?

Learning to guesstimate repairs (most by square foot) will save you a ton of time and aggravation.

I would recommend talking to @Steve Lawson He's got feet on the ground and a management company in Indianapolis. 

My best advice if your not a veteran and want to continue virtual wholesaling is find a local partner or "feet on the ground".  

The reason why I ask is a lot of my contractors accept square as form of payment which they just take my debit or credit card and I've never heard on a 1099k

Long after the contractor is paid and gone I always find disappointing stuff like poorly done trim or out of square walls. 

I have a two family in journal square.

So I'm focusing on making sure I've got tons of equity in these deals--room for error, if you will--until I get back on my investor's feet again and get myself back up to the level of confidence I used to have.I'm really excited for the first time in a long time, and a little fear still comes along with the excitement.

get on your feet and go door to door and see homes that are for sale, look up homes that have sold and develop your own ability to know a deal--this is not a business for the part timers, there are too many inexperienced home buyers and investors who will bid up prices.

I'm another Houstonian trying to get my feet wet in whole sale'ing any advice for me?
