Love your work too…. tell your wife I’ve borrowed some of your guys staging ideas for a few of our houses!

The owner of the property with the damaged band joist thought the problem couldn’t be fixed and that she was going to have to tear the house down. She was so grateful that we were willing to buy it that she started crying after signing the P&S because it was her parents house, and she was so happy that someone was going to be fixing it up.

First, I’ve seen your guy’s rehabs and love your work!

Things like this are the things that keep you and me in business. Other investors get freaked out because of the “structural issues” with the house, without realizing that a qualified contractor can likely fix the problem in a day for a few hundred dollars. Hopefully my competition will NEVER figure these things out…

As for the siding, it’s amazing how bad it can deteriorate in 20 years. Unfortunately, much of the neighborhood is like that — if it weren’t for the bad siding that was used on the original construction, this entire neighborhood would still be beautiful. Hopefully the replacement will be down in the next couple days…

Interesting fix with the band joist. We are purchasing one next week that the band joist has buckled, cracked, and is pulling away from the floor joists. This happened because the house had four layers of shingles and the weight of the roof collapsed the joist. We’ll be jacking the whole house and replacing it. Fun Stuff!!!!!
