Also, since IRA investments are supposed to be hands off and arms length, you'll be safest by hiring a property manager to manage your property and external companies to make major renovations. 

I combine it with a hardwired DVR external camera system.I didn't start out this way.

This is taking external factor, layout, finishes etc into the count. 

@Shawn Krieger What exactly is your experience with brokers versus banks besides being an extern?

I choose wholesaling because my way of thinking is that if I can produce the properties ,then I'll be able to hand pick which properties I'd like to Hold, Flip or Wholesale in the future.Since my last wholesale deal (June 2018) I've seen a drastic decrease in lead funnel, which has lead to no deals what so ever.

I agree some of the staging we see is so atrocious it masks the good work done.A Fellow investor staged his ARV $130k flip with pieces of 'hand picked' trash he got from the side of the road.

Once the framing is done, plumbing and electrical are installed in the appropriate areas, certain external facing walls insulated, dry wall/Sheetrock hung, plastered, and painted, and finally flooring laid, refinished, or installed. 

Wind is already cheaper and solar is on track to be cheaper than legacy fuels in a few short years (even with legacy fuels keeping their subsidies while renewables lose theirs), so makes economic sense even health issues aside but especially considering those external issues among others.

Handyman an internal or external member. 

One of the questions we always have the property managers address on their proposals to landlords is their mark-up on vendor invoices and whether their maintenance is internal or external.
