It's free to provide a detailed line item bid this is not usually broken up by labor or material is provided as a whole for example the line item for paint should go as follows; Paint:- Remove all hardware (door knobs) and faceplates for electric receptacles.

This is much better than hiring him and issuing a W-2, which would remove access to real estate tax advantages.Avoid Employee Setup: By making him a co-owner instead of a hired worker, you skip payroll tax issues and instead allow him to benefit from pass-through taxation—income and losses from the LLC go directly onto your joint or separate tax returns, depending on how you file.Operating Agreement: Create a clear operating agreement.

It's taking about 6 months of lates these days before a notice of foreclosure is even sent.Agreed = "Buy Profitable Problems".In these instances I have persons who specialize in credit repair of this type and if we can transact it PRE-foreclosure, and even in redemption situations, they have been able to completely remove the foreclosure from credit because it was satisfied in full.

Value added by turning a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom into a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom This includes new roof, 2 new HVAC systems for split units, water heater, updating electrical/removing nob & tube wiring, plumbing updates, 17+ brand new double paned windows throughout, leveling out the flooring and adding hardwood throughout the entire property, replacing all drywall on walls & ceilings with over 100 new sheets, gutted both bathrooms to update tiles/vanities/ tubs and showers with 2x1 tile throughout for a modern feel.

The challenge becomes if you have to remove anything and re-build which can be more costly than even starting from scratch.I would get aggressive in getting compensated by the seller for this matter, knowing how to phrase your ask will be important but I think that can help take off some of the risk burden.If you want to chat about it more just let me know.
