Or you can use the company you find in the profile of @Tim Norris .

And I am a Lowe's employee and get great deals on home improvement items.

To summarize, it says a “Real estate broker means a person who, for another and for compensation or with the intention or expectation of receiving compensation Sells, exchanges, options, purchases, rents or leases, or negotiates or offers, attempts or agrees to negotiate the sale, exchange, option, purchase, rental or lease of, or lists or solicits prospective purchasers, lessees or renters of, any real estate or the improvements thereon or any modular homes, used manufactured homes, used mobile homes or other housing offered or conveyed with any interest in real estate" This is black and white - if you try to sell a house you do not own, you are brokering.

Great job on this @Drew Purvis  How great is it to learn how to improve for next time and still get all of your money out on a refi? 

On a $2 million purchase, that’s $100,000 to $200,000, significantly less than if you purchased it with a loan.If the deal goes bad, you don’t have to exercise the option, so your downside risk is limited to your option money, time, and improvement costs. 4.

In Connecticut, houses in flood zones have limitations on improvements before the house must be brought up to full FEMA code.

Those are to very good areas that have seen great improvements over the last five years.

Just his profile. ;) Mine says Indiana but I own rentals in Mo.

All units are as originally built and nothing has been replaced or improved (including HVAC).

We are doing all the requisite cosmetic fixes and hope to sell next year for a good profit, through the market is soft so we may need to rent for a year and see if it starts to improve.
