Otherwise the weeks after the tenancy starts you will be meeting contractors getting everything fixed and it will probably affect your relationship with the tenants.

I just talked to the contractor, he will redo the electric work to drill through the joists with romex plastic electrical wires.

Hi Andy,Finding a quality contractor that's reasonably priced is difficult.

What kind of insurance would be the best option to have when buying properties , rehabbing them with a contractor and then selling them?

Patrick,You was with an contractor at the 4plex or you made your estimate by yourself?

In reality it's very difficult for someone with no experience, that isn't a contractor or agent, or have something that brings some type of value to a project to get 100% financing.

Have a contractor walk through with you on the deal and try to get a handle on what this stuff would cost to modernize your deal or at least bring up to code.

I was walking through with a contractor at a potential property where our exit strategy would be a rental.

I said let me send you the mold inspection report and the estimates, may be you can send it to them, the agent said "no, don't, we don't need to see your results, FNMA has instructed us to inform you to either accept the contract or move on."

Other stocks might be an interest; Government contractors in high tech R&D, batteries, optics, and software, but I know nothing about software, just what I'm told.
