A house just hit the market 310,000$ is the asking price its 1,600 sq ft. Needs new exterior paint , carpet, probably going to remodel the bathrooms, kitchen, and update where needed. Pretty excited it sure helps that my family is in the construction business :D goal is to flip this house for 450-500k when done.

Those prices are crazy.:spit: The wife and I are looking at selling our house and upgrading. We are looking at new houses in the 3400-3600sq ft range for the same price.

Mixing family with business can be a very bad thing in some familys. Hopefully all goes well for you buddy :hug:

X-100 family and business are a bad combination IMO... Just remember when buying a "Fix ER up er" everything cost twice as much and takes twice as long as expected,, kinda like building a Diesel pick up to go fast,:screwy::dontknow: :)
