You see, contractors have a precise mathematical formula on how they charge, and if you think a contractor’s fee is based on their level of expertise, the scope of the job, cost of materials, and or other factors that would make sense, well then, you’d be totally wrong on any one of those instances.Contractors have their method of pricing, and it’s all about you!

We were looking to invest in fixer uppers to build cash reserves How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

The medium level family income is over $75,000 a year now I believe!!

The rear of the building has a ground level door to the first unit, stairs that go up to the second unit, and those same stairs make it all the way up to the third unit.

I think that I can afford a smaller home (1,200 sq.ft or less), but it would be towards the upper range of my budget (approximately $600K).

A business on the main level, and two 2 bed 1 bath units on the upper level.
