Hard work but I know it will pay off eventually.

I suppose I haven't talked to the tenant already because the owner doesn't want them to know they're selling it..they're worried of them "freaking out"...erm..Well they're going to find out eventually!

Have a witness when you do eventually inspect.

And it eventually sucked me dry and I had to turn it all over to a PM.

I live near the Tupelo area, but I'm in a bit of a rural area myself, so finding knowledgeable people to learn from is proving to be a little tricky.My long term goal is to eventually be able to completely support myself with income from real estate deals and investments.

We did eventually sign up for these however due to our personal financial reasons we both needed to take some time off. 

So, if you do have a poor creature in the walls, he will eventually put off more stink.

If wages stay flat, then the affordability will decrease which will eventually (with-in five years) put a lid on growth.3) Market efficiency - There is almost no new construction below the media price for either apartments, condos or stand alone homes.

I am basically looking for any insight on your experiences with contractors in the past, positive and negative both appreciated, as well as any ideas you may have as to how your HVAC contractor could better serve you ( completing the job on time, accepting payment for labor when the house closes etc.) any and all feedback will be very welcomed as I am looking to eventually serve the real estate professionals in my area in the best way possible.

Please take note that for the next 2-4 years the only thing you will get is $2500- the 20% on the back is only when the house sells in 2-4 years at which time it will probably need to be renovated again and you have no idea if he will sell in 2-4 years.I think you have better luck finding a rental getting a mortgage and renting it out, having a run of tenants then eventually selling the house- At least then you will get the monthly cash flow till you sell instead of $2500 upfront and future money in 2-4 years assuming he doesn't ruin your credit during that time.Sorry that I sound so horrible maybe I need coffee.
