I’ve recently purchased a multi family in Springfield within the forest park neighborhood. I’m not from the area nor live in the area so, I’m trying to build a network of contacts to assist in maintaining the property. 

Does anyone have contacts for landscaping and handyman services. Im in need of some assistance. 

Quote from @Daniel Martinez:

holding for a higher ROI takes too long and it is never certain. Land can sit on the market for years.

Buy low and sell high. That is our land model, made $80k on 1 lot last week. New lot this week, looking to make $200k on it.


 What criteria do you look for when making a purchase? & who do you look for to buy from you? 

I’m currently looking to get into buying and holding plots of land throughout the country. A friend of mine referred me to bid4asset.com. Does anyone have any experience with this platform? Pros and cons?

What should I look for when purchasing plots? Do I have a better chance of selling higher in residential areas or rural? 

Any advice would help. 

Thank you John. I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll try and get in contact with some associations. Maybe they’ll lend me a contact.

Marc,

Many Condo Associations have set contract requirements for the Plow companies they hire.  The contracts/insurance requirements that have been designed to shift the Liability away from the Association and onto the Plow Company.   An attorney that represents Associations might be a good starting point to design your own requirements.

Thank you for your response Anthony. Whatever lead you can give me regarding the plowers, I’m grateful. I just want to find someone I can establish a rapport with so if I do need a cleanup I know who to call. 

As far as plumbing goes, I just want to be prepared in case something we’re to happen. I’m new to the area so I don’t want to find myself relying on just anybody.

@Marc Amedee a lot of folks have been asking around for plowers recently. The challenge is getting someone with the right insurance so that if there's a tenant slip and fall, you're covered under the plower's insurance.

If you have a good relationship with your insurance agent you might ask them. I can recommend a few names to call too, but you'll need to check the insurance angle yourself.

I can recommend some folks with plumbing skills but why do you ask? Do you have a significant plumbing project coming up, or do you just want to have a name on hand in case a tenant calls about a toilet backing up or heat not working? If the latter, depending on the system you can get good results too by calling an HVAC person rather than a plumber specifically.

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased my first investment property in RI. The house is in amazing condition according to the inspector. However, I want to be prepared for the upcoming winter. Does anyone have any recommendations for plumbers and plowers in the East Providence area?

@Kayla Mueller Thank you for the advice. I’m gonna dissect this. I actually started driving for dollars earlier. & I was able to find 4 potential properties. I’m a little nervous to go to those properties and knock on the doors. This feeling stems from lack of preparation. However, I don’t want to wait for too long and potentially regret not taking the necessary steps.

Last night, I went to my first seminar through Than Merrill which left me motivated. Throughout the course of the night, they were talking about “reverse wholesaling” and boy, they made it sound so easy.

Now, I’m looking to start the process and look for potential homes. How should I go about this? I’m on Zillow, looking at pre-foreclosed and foreclosed homes but what do I do next? Should I be driving around my city looking for super distressed homes? I figure if I can find a deal and secure it under a contract and advertise that home properly then cash buyers will come. As stated before, how should I go about this?
