Hello all,I'm looking to do my first single family fix and flip in the Greater Boston/Worcester area.

Many people start out active because they want exposure to real estate and don't know that you can start out passive - you can effectively hire the asset manager and supply capital to the investment.You can have great success as an active or a passive investor - but it is important to understand the difference and to select whichever option matches your skills and resources the best.Good luck!

Can you mix and match tenants to fill a larger space?

Long term rentals typically require much less work than a fix and flip.

She is in a good position with the contractor who appears to be in direct contact with the tenants in terms of minor fixes as they arise. 

For the leak, drywall replacement and so on I offered to pay partially I was not legally bound but I had a booking and needed it fixed fast but I didn't pay much about 20% of the fix for the drywall.

Finding handymen is NEVER easy:( Often, you have to use trial & error method and weed through several before finding one that is acceptably (never pefect) reliable, quality, will fix warranty issues and has decent prices.Try visiting a Home Depot 6-8am on a Saturday.

An estoppel certificate fixes this problem.

Have one rental property, and trying to get into the fix and flip field.
