As a property manager for 40 years, the biggest mistake is thinking that being a "landlord" is easy....that purchasing the RE is the hard part and that the rest is downhill.Newbies who go to Staples or Office Depot, get a generic lease, put a sign in the yard and get blinded by the CASH flashed at them by the applicants who smell the "new landlord" on them.....and then they don't see any more money for 4 to 6 months.

1 thing you can do is to go register at Home Depot as a Contractor, this will give you access to supplies so you have an idea....for labor call a contractor and ask what he charges...X's how long you figure the project should take...and there you go...go do it several times and you should be pretty close.
