This company charges 15% on top of any maintenance requests in addition to their normal fees but all I need to do is approve the estimates - they do all the work/communication with the contractors.Recently my PM sent me a few maintenance requests: a $1400 to fix some plumbing in a bathroom (clogged and leaking - contractor says they need to cut the pipes, reroute and replace some plumbing, recaulk.

Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting.
