Also they make the room brighter during the showing by reflecting the light from the window back into the room.

That being said, dev. deal investors can be compensated higher returns than acquisition investors in light of the additional risk. 

Some GC's are only as good as their sub's and other's are better than their sub's and are worth their weight in gold - it all depends.I've don't most of my projects with sub's for many years and have learned to recognize many things that may need more attention, etc.

It can be expensive to work with a GC on light rehab projects, so going with a HELOC may be more beneficial.

My properties in 2 states account for about 80% of my cash flow, but the 4 SFH I have in Birmingham account for only 20%.I don’t want to sell as I’ll incur lots of tax (as they were part of a 1031 in the past), but wonder any strategies like seller finance, etc that could possibly result in higher returns on these properties.I am curious what other BP landlords do when a few properties in their portfolio aren’t pulling their weight….Thanks!

My advice is to hire thoughtfully, offering a full-time position even if the workload is initially light.

My tenants want compensation, just wondering if any could shed some light on this issue?
