@Mark Turney, what type of property are you looking for? What numbers do you need to hit? I can let you know if I come across something that may fit your needs!

Welcome! 

You should get on some wholesale lists to get access to properties. Send me a PM. Would love to help you out if I can! 

Hey @Lance Goll, welcome and let me know what you're looking for!

Hey everyone! We (my parents and I) need a REPLACEMENT contractor to finish some work at our house in Southlake (near Grapevine/DFW). It's in quite a pinch because our contractor just jumped ship on us in the middle of the project! 

What is needed to complete:

-Additional painting and touchup painting of walls, trim, and blinds

-Repairs to oak wood flooring, plus sanding, sealing, and clear-coating the entire floor

-Laying marble tile around a fireplace

-Installing a sink in a granite countertop, including cutting the holes, etc.

-Re-Installing shower door

That is it! Please let me know if you have recommendations for RELIABLE subs or general contractors to finish this job for us! We need it done ASAP!

Appreciate the BP community helping out with this recommendation!

Thanks,

Michael

@John Lindemann How did this resolve? Hope it worked out for you!

@John Lindemann I wonder if it just looks worse to you because of your high expectations? I wouldn't be surprised if nobody notices it.

Of course that doesn't make it right, and I agree with your original comment: use great caution when using tenants for work. Sort of like doing business with family... it could go well, but it could also strain that relationship and probably isn't worth the risk.

I'd see if he agrees the job is shoddy and pay him half, AFTER he cleans up his scraps.

Next time use a clear SOW as well, that could help.

@Will Anderson What an exciting financial and educational journey you're on. Congratulations - it looks like you're making many great decisions to set yourself up for success in all ways!

I love the idea of doing a house-hack as the others have mentioned. Still need to ensure you are buying at the right price.

Reach out if you need any help!

Thanks,

Michael

Hey @Mike Posey, welcome!

What types of properties are you specifically looking for?

Hey Douglas - I'm from the area and think things are very sound, without much hooplah in the way of huge market swings. 

I'm wholesaling in the area so feel free to let me know how I can help you or if you need more specific information. 

Thanks,

michael

Thank you @Brian Eastman and others. I gotta say, I love learning. I especially love learning the easy way (BP) and not the hard way (IRS)!
