Hi @Joe@Joe Plesic.  

I agree, @Joe Gore - a good GC is worth their weight in gold and I would gladly pay the money for someone who can do the work quickly and do it well.

Originally posted by @Joe Demonte:That is exactly what municipalities do to roadwork contractors, only on a much larger scale. 

I would then charge them for the labor & materials (plus administrative fees of $50) for the damage.

@Joe Impagliazzo That was not the experience I had with 97% LTV loans back in 2010-2012.The pricing was the same at 95% LTV loans (maybe not at lower fico scores) most of my borrowers are 700-740 so that may skew things a bit but the only thing that was more was the mortgage insurance premiums.

Copies of all invoices and receipts for materials and labor from all vendors for any work completed. 4.

That's billed to the owner, though, not the tenant.From what I understand, if you try to deduct a charge for your labor from a security deposit, and the tenant disputes it and takes it to court, the judge will typically disallow the charge.

You certainly can invest in that business.Don't discount your husband's labor.

Joe and Alex provide valuable insight in the process of finding motivated sellers, locking up a deal, and selling or transferring to an end buyer for a fee.

One big labor cost plus materials.And they usually need to move in asap, where we already have a roof over our heads.A poster mention their own personal home and being more emotional about it.Nope once I move, it turns into investment rental ;)
