Most mechanical meters should be an easy change out or repair. 

They’ve seen firsthand how different firms handle vacancies, maintenance, and tenant issues.When interviewing PMs, ask about their fee structure, how they handle repairs, and their screening process.

This is why most wholesalers are terrible because their numbers are never even close on the repair costs.

At this point I can't fathom spending close to $100k in repairs and potentially being right back where I started.

It’s very easy as tenants pay like clock work electronically and are very reasonable for scheduling repairs.

I guess it's just too many factors to consider and it easy to get overwhelmed and cannot get accurate info and estimation when I conduct analysis (ex. property tax rate, insurance, maintenance fee, rent, repair, closing cost, etc.) 

Sympathize with them, and try to help them get out of their current situation.Have accurate numbersALWAYS have an accurate ARV(after repaired value) on a property, and ALWAYS have accurate repair costs.

They offered $10k over asking, zero repairs, zero appraisal, AND, they were my only offer in 45 days. 

Post your property on all sites to get the most exposure. zillow, avail, facebook, mls if you have access.Get a great lease, pro members get them for free for every state through BP.Have contacts for all the repair items if you do not plan to do so yourself.feel free to reach out with questions, happy to help.

Negotiated out need for 3rd party repairs and put in "sweat equity" There were only appliances and light fixtures/fans missing.
