Hello All!

I am a wholesaler/REI located in Colorado Springs. I just had someone reach out to me in Springtown Texas that is wanting to sell their home. I want to provide an offer but would LOVE to have a couple of serious investors lined up.

Please contact me ASAP so I can get all the information to you as it comes available to me.

Thanks,

Melissa Ragan

Good morning Trischa,

Being a former renter for nearly 20 years there was always a stipulation in the lease if I wanted to paint my home/apartment. 

If I wanted to paint I ALWAYS had to check with the landlord prior to painting

If I did paint a room/wall etc.  I had to pay for the materials unless the paint was overdue for a paint job.  Generally speaking paint in a rental lasts 3-5 years

You may want to take a look at the lease you had your renter sign to check if there were any painting/alterations to property stipulations.  If there are then just explain to the renter that they agreed prior to moving in that no alterations were to be made to the property without the landlords approval.  If there wasn't any stipulations you may just want to bite the bullet and negotiate with them on paying for part of the materials but only if they did a good job and you won't need to repaint it.  Also the $75 paint seems VERY high.  If you do agree to pay for the paint or part of it anyway I would suggest you require the client to furnish you a receipt.  It's my experience that a gallon of paint will cost around $20/gallon (depending on the brand of course).

I hope this info helps a little.  I'll be interested in knowing how all this plays out.

My husband and I are REI's in Colorado Springs. We are currently looking for wholesalers in Las Vegas and the surrounding areas so we can begin flipping homes in LV.

We are wanting to dabble in the Las Vegas market before we decide to officially make the physical move there.  We would love to connect with other real estate investors in Las Vegas that are willing to let us pick your minds :)  We would also love suggestions on reliable contractors that we can depend on to get the job done without having to micro manage since we would only be able to fly out to Vegas every couple of weeks to check on the progress of homes.  

Thanks in advance,
