I don't see much getting done here for less than about $7K minimum, but I haven't seen or measured the kitchen.

The more expensive the property the more room for disaster. recently I had an estimate on replacing a relativily inexpensive granite counter top in ubatuba. it was measured by several contracters all specs and design were the same. the low bid was $6800 and the high bid was $25,000.

I would measure your exterior square footage and multiply that by 3.5 -4 to get your total price.So 1,000 sq ft$1,250 - slate siding removal and disposalNew siding materials and house wrap $1,000 - $1,250Installation labor - $1,250 - $1,500This is probably on the cheaper end and it will depend on what type of vinyl siding that you go with.

As for the time I've never measured it, however if I get the desired level of profits it'll be a moot point, especially since I won't be swinging hammers or paint brushes.

The L/P might be a viable way for you to sell and could allow you to collect a little bit of cash up front in the form of a deposit.One caveat: if the buyers have money now that they were going to place as a down payment for the mortgage, you'd want to take measures to ensure that they don't spend it in the meantime since they'll most likely need it for their mortgage in 4-5 yrs.

Our main problem is that we have no way to measure how many calls are going to the forwarded number (we use google voice to forward the calls). 

BTW - our best measurement is that approx 5% of our franchisees leave the system each year, and ~1/2 of those instances are for personal reasons.

This contract is a safety measure for you as well as it binds the contractor to do what they say.

After all, anything the seller pays for, is something you don't have to later.You need to carefully measure what you ask for against your relationship with the seller.

We are not sure it is because the electricity is off so the sump pump is off, or if the sump pump was on in the first place it still would have flooded.What kind of measures can I take during the rehab to prevent any future flooding, besides a working sump pump
