Whether getting a repair or full replacement you need a permit otherwise you may be subject to fines if you get caught.

There’s been a lot of debate on what markup you need to keep your payouts whole.If you want to offset the entire 15.5% fee, the correct markup is 18.34%.That’s because you’re covering the full fee from scratch.But here’s the key: most hosts (myself included) were already absorbing the old 3% fee as an acquisition cost.In that case, you don’t need to markup that part again — you only need to offset the extra 12.5%.Example:Old rate = $100Airbnb takes 12.5% → you’d only get $87.50To get back to $100: $100 ÷ 0.875 = $114.29That’s a 14.29% markup (multiply rates by 1.1429).So which is correct?

Trying to get as much information from the seller about the property as possible.

How much will they change after you buy?

Quote from @Evan Alexakos: I've been trying to save money to get into real estate and previously did much research on wholesaling; however, when I attended a meetup in Chicago for real estate.

The question also is how much debt is on the assets?   

There’s no mortgage on the property, but I owe $23,000 in property taxes.Property is worth 1.6 million according to Zillow.I need $30,000–$35,000 to finish an upstairs 1-bedroom unit with a terrace, washer, and dryer.

I would need a space around 20ksqft+ -- and would need a parking lot to get this approved min 20 spots.It would mostly be training space, open floor, we would install 1or 2 turf fields.

Action is much more important than perfection. 

@Dustin BootsRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
