DIY A first-time DIYer can expect to spend several hours replacing a kitchen faucet.The time it takes depends on your experience and the faucet's complexity.You'll need tools like wrenches, a putty knife, and a small bucket.You'll also need materials like supply lines, silicone caulk, and plumbers tape.You may be tempted to be cheap and estimate only 30 minutes, but you should estimate an hour to be safe.What about the time to go to the property to figure out if a 2-hole or 3-hole faucet is needed, then drive to Home Depot to get it, drive back to install and then head either to the next job or back to the office?

More important than identifying target areas is establishing relationship with a local investor-friendly professional who has personal experience in investing in Cleveland.

Loan officers with 25 years of experience typically are more experienced, and have less time per file, because they have an abundance of files.Loan officers with 25 months of experience typically are less experienced, but have more time to devote to you.I can't write my own loans, so when I'm getting a loan I prefer working with less busy people when I'm doing my own real estate investment, they're more responsive and dedicated it feels like.

You can't really predict for a creative business mind and how they might craft a guest experience that stands out in their market. 

Hi Corby,I definitely need to find a CPA with real estate experience. 

None I could say with confidence without knowing more details on the borrowers experience, property type, city, and project numbers (PP, Rehab, ARV).

I find it's very personal, and dependent a lot on your goals, resources, risk tolerance, location, experience, etc.

However, the HOA then said "we are still fully opposed to the door".I am working with our RE attorney, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips or experience in this situation.
