I have an incredible handyman that has done such good work for my properties in San Diego.

The property manager had someone go out and give an estimate for around 11k to replace the entire roof.

Hey all, working through closing on my first investment property, a 4-unit househack in central Wisconsin priced around $400k. 

I am planning to buy my first 2-family property in Schenectady and is curious to know how the rental market has been in past 1 or 2 years in Schenectady and what are the projections, and if anyone has a recent experience with a similar purchase.

Aloha @Kaleb Ahonen - my team and I take an Off Market/Distressed Property approach in the Inland Empire, San Diego, Orange County and LA. 

While rent rates do increase, so do the potential headaches of managing multiple tenants.For example, here in Bryan and College Station, TX, you can get an extra 10% by renting out rooms individually.

I want two things - I want help customizing a lease for my property.

@Shane O'Neill Let me know about your property in Orlando, I may be able to help you sell it to my investor list.

Tried similar propositions with GC's to work as quasi project managers who balk at the offer. 

Security Deposits:The property management charges tenants a "move-in" fee rather than a security deposit.
