Maybe my expectations are too high due to the quality of my property manager.Do you agree that a PM should be proactively pointing out future maintenance issues, or am I expecting too much as well?

I have met with some of the CCIM folks locally and they all seem like quality folks.  

Hi, looking for a HIGH QUALITY handyman or contractor for miscellaneous tasks around a residential property in Littleton, CO.

And what matters even more is the quality of the work and the service.

Also you might check out the school district ratings to help you get an idea of the quality of the area. 

Also, in terms of flooring for the storefront what material would be best in terms of money and quality? 

and, have good, to very good, vetted property teams in different metros, and detailed quality standards.

With a quality relationship they will just continue to get better and better.Example: I met this local lady.

I learned that in order for my investing business to be successful I needed three important ingredients: (1) Money (2) Quality contractors (3) Off market properties.That led me to concentrated on finding deals that the numbers worked within, even with rates at 12%+ and up to 4 points for short-term money, and in areas where quality contractors wanted to do work.

There is no hard grading system on investment properties so “Class D” would be a subjective term but ideally it would refer to the “state/condition” of the property, “quality/affordability” of the tenant base and the “rent/income” it could provide.
