Account Closed this post actually makes my blood boil. 

Your contractor is the life-blood of your business so make sure you choose one that embodies all of the above.If you are just flipping a home I do not think you will need an architect but that depends on the project.Good luck!

Put in a ton of blood, sweat, and tears and ended up making a few bucks at the end of it.

This may be one of those situations where you're trying to get blood out of a stone.

Not to rain on your parade, Gabriel, but it is almost always a bad idea to borrow money from family and mix business and blood.

Everything I can find on HUD.gov or otherwise with google defines immediate family as: (by blood, in-law, or marriage) parent, child, or sibling -- or spouse of any of these.

Although my blood is quite watered down, lol.

Do you have specific ones that you've had to learn the hard way, aka that are "written in blood"?

The part most of the blogs forget is all the blood, sweat and tears in the middle!

I believe the adopted child's share is equally divided amongst the adopted siblings but I'm not sure if the biological siblings become involved or if there is a split in % passed down as there is with half siblings receiving 50% of what a full blood sibling would receive.
