Just an FYI.....Menards contractor cards gets you an airline ticket to anywhere in the 48 states for every $100,000.00 you spend there.  This works good if your a developer and build new homes to sell.  Crappy flights though, lots of layovers, I believe Home Depot is a better return..

    You have to spend $200,000.00 though if you want to bring the Wifey...

Congrats on your mulit purchase!

Nice to hear about someone finding a decent deal on Zillow.  I have read on this site and others that "deals" go there to die.  

 The year built (1942) might have scared some investors off, thus why it was still listed after 6 months.   Pex water lines are so much of an improvement over copper.  I do wonder how many newer plumbers will not even be taught how to properly/ correctly "sweat" a copper water line.

This was a very creative,  insightful and tragic movie. I'm interested to learn from those who have seen it, what impact this movie had on them. 

For myself it is the fact that only one trader was convicted and went to jail out of the thousands of Jr. and Senior executives at the banks and securities firms who caused this calamity.

Hello I am Noah. I'm in highschool and plan to become a real estate developer. After reading Donald Trump's "The Art of the Deal" It says towards the beginning that a reason his Dad was successful was because he negotiated everything even construction crew service and materials. My question is how do you haggle for better deals on construction services and materials? Thank you.

Jason,

Is she going to sign on the loan?  If not, it would be very difficult for a lender to go after her.  Even in California.  The question would be if she benefited in some way.  For instance, if you had a credit card, and she used it, they might try to come after her.  Keep her off and I think you would be ok.

Stuff happens. A dishwasher isn't something someone can live without. Apologize for the inconvenience and get it fixed within a reasonable amount of time. If the insurance company will be reimbursing you, just fix it out of your reserve you have for the property and then pay it back once you get the check, easy.

Hi everyone i want to develop a car wash along a busy 6 lane state highway that is used by commuters to get to work daily. It would be a full service tunnel wash with vacume stations, vending, etc. We could get the land for around $400k for a acre but theres many other opurtunities to get a spot for cheaper because theres many shut down buildings that need to be demolished that we could purchsase off market. Now lets say we could build the car wash for 600k plus the land of lets say 200-400k. Where do i get financing for that? Would crowdfunding apply here? Also does anyone know of any car wash franchises? Are there any experienced car wash opertators that could provide some insight please?
