They also use Marshal Swift a book to value replacement costs for improvements, that value has nothing to do with reality as you may get labor and materials much cheaper....so not only do they limit the loss they set the value per ft as well.

For simple repairs, the cost estimators are likely going to be easy to use, but for a fire damaged house the situation is obviously more complex.I've used the Marshall and Swift cost estimators which can be a useful guide.

I am truly amazed at the swiftness of the replies.

About tenant damages.... you should be doing regular unit inspections of the unit for maintenance and repair, as well as to catch lease violations so you can swiftly address them.For the non-renewal.... follow the landlord-tenant laws for your jurisdiction and any requirements imposed by the contract you have with the Section 8 program.

Sounds like a used car salesman to me and you are right to give him the swift boot.

I've realized that though I had a swift start into RE, I never really had a good sense of how my investments were performing or how to gauge/calculate their performance.

That's the one who when a property owner is even thinking of selling they will give the call to because they know that broker has buyers that can perform and a sale will be swift and seem less and get the job done for the seller.This is all of course predicated on the seller being realistic as to valuation and expected sales price of their property.

Expect swift implementation. :)
