@Robert Gilstrap several reasons:1) Investors think they are smarter than all dumb ol' PMs, so the cheaper idiot the better.2) Investors think PM services are a commodity, so if they all offer the same service, price is all that matters3) Investors don't do enough research to understand everything a PMC does, so in their ignorance they default to shopping by price.Take your pick!

I did not read the entire post -- sorry if it's a duplicate.call around to all local cabinet specialty shops -- high volume shops sometimes have orders that fall through and are custom made for someone else's space that can be a great deal -- and retrofit into the space in which you need it.hope this helpsalso if you install the prefab unfinished cabinets yourself you can do an average sized kitchen for 1200 + 200 for paint/stain done in 3-4 days max

Both properties fall into Class B- category and has no HOA and no rental restrictions.Here are the details for each property:Property 1:3 Bed, 2 Bath (1020 sq ft)Purchase Price: $250,000Moderate rehab needed (Kitchen, floor, bathroom sink vanity, light & fan fixtures, interior paint)Rehab Cost: $30,000After Repair Value (ARV): $295,000Down Payment: 20% (Out of Pocket: $50,000 + $30,000 (rehab) = $80,000)Projected Rental Income Post-renovation: $2100/monthProperty 2:2 Bed, 2.5 Bath (1168 sq ft)Purchase Price: $230,000Moderate rehab needed (Kitchen, floor, bathroom sink vanity, light & fan fixtures, interior paint)Rehab Cost: $30,000After Repair Value (ARV): $295,000Down Payment: 20% (Out of Pocket: $46,000 + $30,000 (rehab) = $76,000)Projected Rental Income Post-renovation: $1900/monthThe location is moderate, with amenities like shops, restaurants, a mall, and a baseball stadium within a 5-mile radius.Considering buying both as they are in the same building, the total cost and income overview would be:Total Price for Both Properties: $478,000Down Payment & Closing: $96,000 + $10,000 = $106,000Total Renovations: $60,000Total Price (Including Renovations): $478,000 + $60,000 = $538,000Total Out of Pocket: $166,000Projected Gross Rent Monthly: $4000The rate of interest for the mortgage is 7.5%.I am currently evaluating: A) The break-even point for two townhomes considering a cash investment of close to 32%.

Our company also offers full service property management, rehab, etc so a true one-stop-shop for OOS investors.

The cabinet shop I use also provides assembly and installation.  

At out of the bag on the ending.

They cant be expected to run to the shop, grab materials, install at cost.

I know the North Dayton pizza shop im talking about has been robbed a few times, and the drivers have also been robbed on occasion.

Go to a mortgage broker that will shop around for a loan for you. 

Wondering if anyone has shopped it around.
