If payments are not on time or there are issues, there will be discrepancies.You really should be within a few dollars of what the amortization schedule says.

My contractors' system has saved me many thousands of dollars and stress over the years.My son and I have contracted for several million dollars with contractors and subs, it ain't easy keeping up with them, material, labor licensing etc.

Most of my clients who house hack do areas that are gentrifying early/mid way that way you have a lot of upside in appreciation/rent growth.

*Buyer's agents usually do not cost you a dollar!

Because I THOUGHT that I was many years away from my goal of trading each up in to the much more favorable $1M multifamily loan space (and higher cash flow per dollar invested because of that). 

Driving for dollars.

Hi @Phuong Le, a few thoughts for you:1) How about pricing out the service that your GC is offering with other GC’s so that you can get a sense of what the dollar value of the service is.

Dear BP family,I have a million dollar question.How can I find a good, honest and inexpensive contractor?
