@Eric Graig you will learn a lot less investing in Patch of Land type companies, it is more comparable to stock investing than to land lording. 

The amount that was paid to the contractor to plug, patch, and finish was almost as much as if they had installed all new drywall.When considering a K&T upgrade, you will have to bring the entire house up to code. 

Reason I ask is I have called both Realty Mogul and Patch Of Land to get something going, maybe a total of 8 calls between the two firms, and I've not been getting the warm fuzzy feeling the different reps knew what they were talking about; it's been inconsistent answers about whether or not I could use my SDIRA, no clear guidance on the steps to get the money moved to them, and blasé about me being ready to pull the trigger. 

In the meantime accept the possibility of moving into an apartment or somewhere until this rough patch smooths out.

The walls needed a bit of patch work and the garbage disposal needed to be replaced, but that was about it.

Our labor runs about $550-$700 on most 1000 sq.ft. 2/1 and 2/2 units for a 'turnkey' job (drywall patches, Kilz if necessary, etc. taken care of.)

So, now I am faced with a new or patched roof.

I would love to meet all sellers to figure out a way to patch together a deal, but theres got to be a more efficient way.

Everyone thanks for the replies.For me the landlords I list and sell property for operate differently.Tenants talk and it can be a good or a bad thing.The clients I have would have this fixed or being worked on within 24 hours to 48 hours max.They like to be ultra responsive to tenants and take care of issues right away.Tenants that have been somewhere awhile usually are happy with the land lord.The potential tenants will go around and ask other tenants how responsive the landlord is to issues that come up.If the tenants say "the landlord gets around to it eventually but I have to hound him" is not good.If the tenants say "the landlord listens to requests and is responsive and cares about his buildings" that makes the potential tenant feel good.If a potential tenant isn't asking these questions it's a bad sign of a tenant trying to live anywhere.So if it was me I can't imagine being in front of a judge and saying "your honor I was told about the ceiling falling down and water damage and was given photos but I did nothing to fix it for 5 days"I do feel for the landlord to an extent.I see some landlords keep patching instead of correctly fixing the problem.Do it right the first time.As long as the work is completed correctly there will not be an issue.I won't have to get involved unless I am forced to.
