I would have hired a junk haul person to do the clean out instead of my contractor.

We finally found our go-to contractor after falling out with our original, who underbid the project, become flakey and eventually stopped showing up.

Hire a contractor to repair.

Hey @Cynthia Leite - I am a licensed general contractor in Chicago, and we have 32 categories in our scope of work, then, we have many subgroups under these.0. 

I know its expensive but you will be well protected :)Or you save a lot of money and be better protected by doing this consistently and well:-carry appropriate types and amounts of insurance-sign contracts with indemnification provisions- obtain all necessary licenses and permits to operate your business-ensure all vendors/contractors are licensed and insured and list you as additional insured-sign well drafted and fair leases and be a responsive landlord -be an active owner or hire an active PM  who avoids or at worse timely eliminates premises liability exposure The strategies you often read about are sold by alarmist asset protection companies who fail to disclose how impractical they are.

To use the BRRRR method, target 2-4 unit properties, look for emerging neighborhoods, network with local contractors, factor in property taxes, and work with an investor-friendly agent.Good luck!

I am thinking I would like to start with a duplex/triplex/quadplex but I am open to your suggestions.I really enjoy making money and have been in technical sales for more than 30 years.

I recommend that you build trust with local contractors first and starting with properties that are move-in ready or just need a little cosmetic touch-up.
