I work in conjunction with the team that reviews claim activity for the Program Participants and can offer that any costs increases due to claims activity are reviewed based upon claim frequency, severity and they type of losses submitted.

I know this depends on what lists and frequency of mailing.

With the frequency of moves and the little/no money down you put into a VA loan, after you calculate for insurance, mortgage and maintenance / repair funds, I found that a PM would roughly cut my cash flow by about a third to a half.  

I do attend the monthly GOREIA from time to time, but I do feel I should attend at a higher frequency than I do now.

The concern that begins to factor into the equation for me at this point has been the types and frequencies of crime.

The cost per mow is pretty low, but I do leave the frequency up to the person mowing (it's a neighbor). 

I'd also love advice on marketing the unit, as well as any "gotcha" items I may want to include in the lease - such as itemizing penalties or consequences for disallowed pets, extra residents, maintenance and notifying me of problems or issues, inspections and frequency, etc. 

We buy houses at a frequency of 1 every 6 weeks.

A realtors study showed homes within half of a mile of a high-frequency public transportation were worth 41 percent more.There are a lot of factors to consider when evaluating the location of a potential investment, and a good real estate agent can help you identify opportunities that are most likely to payoff.

Keep it simple, search the 203k contractor database, you will/should find one in your area, call a few then pick best one.I know your investor wants his own contractor, but his contractor may be simply more expensive because he will have to consider carrying cost for project as the payments  and frequency of payments are regulated by lender.
