New to business
Will be investing in my first property soon. In order to reduce unforeseen repair costs, do you recommend the investor perform cosmetic and light repairs on the property.? I realize the clock is ticking on the investment. I don't intend to wholesale my first house. I will be working at this on a full time basis and have experience painting and plastering rental properties I also realize I must develop a team including sub contractors.
