I see...so you guys are suggesting DIY.

Seems promising...

For my new investment, I'm trying to upgrade the windows. I have 10 windows to upgrade. I spoke to 2 different contractors.

Contractor A quoted $2400 for retrofit and $3000 for regular (labor only, no material).

Contractor B quoted $6000 for retrofit and $8500 (labor + material).

Are these good prices? Bad? How do I find good contractors? 

If anyone can recommend me any, that would be great too. I live in the Bay Area, California.

Yeah, thanks guys. I passed on this. I'm switching markets because Vegas doesn't seem to look to good for what I'm looking for.

Thanks again!

@Account Closed: Hey, thanks for the response! Would you mind elaborating a bit on why it's a negative cash flow?  It would really help me put things into  perspective. Thanks again!

The property is in Kyle Canyon. The garage is attached to another house, so its not truly a single house. It's 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom built in 2004. HOA is $68 per month. Zillow has property tax at $1005 per month.

Zillow lists expected rent at 1250. Houses like these are going for ~$200G, so not sure how I landed such a deal.

What should I look out for? I want to keep and rent. This may be my first property. Will be managing out of state.

Hi Lesley,

Pictures and other details (Is there a lease or month to month rent, HOA, gas+electricity covered, insurance, etc) please.

Thanks!

@John Pettit: I'm interested in this property. Do you have a picture/listing that I can refer to? I can make an immediate offer.
