As an investor we can help alleviate and give good service to those after loss and thus one less thing to worry of. 

With the Contractor having no insurance again you are more likely to be drawn into an lawsuit.I strongly recommend that you only use Licensed contractors with a good track record and with full insurance. 

At about the month and a half mark I get paid in full including any back rent.

Hi Gus,Are you working with an agent to source deals?

Ohh - gotcha, yeah I just had a contamination that cost the sellers (I was the agent) about 10k to get done.Basic tank getting pulled should be about 2-3kContamination will depend on how deep it is / how much needs to be removed and put back in and location, ect...

Mind you, the real estate agent profession is unregulated so you could in theory make a wholesaling profit as a real estate commission.

Entrata, which is a solution for larger PM's, has a service where tenants can call a 24 hour US based call center, the live agent determines the severity of the service request and then adds it to their portal, or if its an emergency, calls on-call maintenance and coordinates their response.

Am I allowed to terminate their services at this stage?

Our real estate agent is saying that we can get $80,000 more than we paid for the home currently.

So I've poked around real estate investing, and I understand there are support services that might be useful for the real estate industry such as clean up services when old tenants move out.
