The only difference these days is that the modular vinyl windows can be bought preassembled with gas sealed between glass panes and slotted into existing window openings.Whatever you do, Andy, good luck in your business.

For anything that's an emergency, myself or one of my representatives will make all arrangements and meet with the contractors at the home, and under those circumstances we generally dictate the terms directly to the tenant (i.e. there's no heat and the HVAC guy has one slot open this afternoon, that's when we are going to be there regardless of convenience). 

But at some point you'll have to stop having "analysis paralysis" and jump in with the sharks.

If you are out of fannie/freddie slots and only have a few properties that you haven't refinanced yet, why not roll the remaining properties into a blanket and cash out to max LTV. 

Thereby opening up more slots for you to buy your next property or refinance the property using a Fannie loan.
