Once the court hearing happens and if they do not show, which mine usually would not, the default judgement would go in my favor, and they would have a limited time (maybe a week) to vacate or the Sheriff will show up and tenant's belongings will physically be removed by you and/or others under the supervision of the Sheriff.

My wife and investment partner is planning to get her real estate license, maybe if I get the inspector license, it could be a powerful combo - any insights are appreciated.On the downside, it appears Texas requires a pretty rigid apprenticeship program, need to be sponsored by a professional inspector and perform a lot of inspections under direct supervision.

Some contractors can carry a project financially, some can't and I try to work with them so as not to put them in a bind, but keeping a safe margin for big mistakes or a walk-offs, especially with new contractors.Just another tip kinda off topic from your questions.....don't stand over a worker and supervise.

The unlicensed assistant must be closely supervised by a licensed Broker.There are many fine property managers in northeastern Ohio.

I was thinking maybe an asset manager who can help me coordinate maintenance, repairs, supervise employees, etc, so I can focus more on acquisition and other tasks that I enjoy doing.

Best I've done is rip it out on reno or turnover, then closely supervise the wiring of the new tenant.

Once I had done that a couple times, I would certainly be in a position where I could easily ascertain if a handyman changing out windows could do a good job at it for $30/hr, at an average of 1 window per hour, for a maximum of $230 per window.Instead of calling my plumber in when the cast iron stack cracks and starts leaking, for a $600 repair and the $200 to have the wall patched, I could do it myself for maybe $100 in materials.I'm sure you can see how the math changes when you're willing to trade your time for money+experience, and then later as an experienced handyman you can hire and effectively supervise/teach unskilled labor to help with these jobs.

If it costs us $1M to  put new roofs on the building, that's a $30,000 fee to the property manager.In my opinion, $30,000 for supervising putting on new roofs seems pretty steep.

If you pay somebody else to do the work, you’ll still spend more time that you expect supervising the activity and the costs of paying others will reduce your profit.Once the work is done, you'll need to schedule inspections to make sure the property complies with applicable building codes before you can sell it.

You are correct, while having the sheriff there, they do, "supervise" that all belongings are moved out of the home to the yard.
