I am a project manager currently working for a commercial General Contracting company and have a small contracting gig on the side I am working on ramping up, focusing on residential and commercial remodels & all demolition projects. 

TLDR: I don't see a reason for small landlords to use concessions - either the price is too high or you need a remodel if your unit isn't renting.

@Trent Gulino Once you complete the remodel shop around for DSCR loans.

Quote from @Roger Garner: Hi everyone,I am a new member trying to remodel/rehab a house.

I'm a contractor so i will tell ya their vendors do a half butt job at the repairs and "remodels" inbetween tenants.

A costly example could be remodeling information claiming a permit was issued when there wasn't any in the county's records.

One thing I want to be prepared for is repairs and remodels.

I'm still spending money on capex items and remodels plus getting rents to market so I'm in the "stabilizing" phase. 

In these early stages of learning and developing as an investor, I'm primarily focused on properties that may require the following: paint, flooring, bathroom/kitchen remodel, drywall, light fixtures, exterior landscaping, siding, or new HVAC.

I would find properties, submit them to their portal and they would tell me what they would offer when the house was completely remodeled.
