I am pretty sold on DataFlik's stacked lists, but I wanted to run this question by all of the smart investors here at BP. 

What’s the best approach to establish business-to-business contracts with insurance companies?

We go by a simple concept, just do what you agreed too in the contract, nothing more, nothing less - if that happens then we all win.

Do you mean a contract between you as an Owner/Builder and the Subs?

We are deciding between hiring a property management company, finding a full time handyman or a hybrid of hiring a property management company for our bigger buildings and using a handyman contracting company for the easier ones.

I cut off PMs that constantly try to find ways to add revenues by what I call trickery; selling some 3rd party service that they have contracted to all their clients, recommending small fixes turn into large one's,etc, make it difficult to get 2nd opinions. 

The very next morning, he was at the seller’s property with a contract in hand.

If you believe you will be financially ready to build a year from now, perhaps you enter into a lengthier contract where you can obtain all of your building approvals and then settle at a later date.

It would be smart to do a full lease audit, estoppels issued, and tenant interviews.And if you are buying cash, there is nothing mandatory, since it is your money at risk. but again, physical condition inspections, understanding of tenants (they are a great source of information about issues with the property that the landlord may not know or may not disclose), surveys to understand accurate property lines, etc.

Welcome and great idea, I think the MTR space is still very smart area to be getting involved in
