I purchased a duplex in Lorain in May of this year and hired a general contractor (GC) I found on Bigger Pockets.

I'm particularly passionate about becoming a Real Estate Investor in Mutiple areas.Outside of real estate, I enjoy cooking, learning new skills, meeting great people, and love to travel.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Plus if you are worried about the seller damaging the place, then inviting contractors in to do work is asking for trouble...redoing the roof immediately after closing is completely doable.

What I also enjoy is when people put out articles with contradicting view points and in six months or a year point to the - "see how correct i was", well yeah you placed bets on both red, black and green so you were going to be correct because you bet on all options.

Tenants have a right of use and enjoyment of the premises, so that would imply that the landlord cannot interfere with the lease premises.

Realtors are the same percentagewise as any other profession, whether it be doctors, lawyers, contractors, you name it. 10% are garbage80% are average10% are pros If you can find the last 10%, go with a Realtor and make your life easier. 

Shorter holding periods also help mitigate risk, so working with a reliable contractor is key.

Making contacts including HML, contractors, RAs and Property Managers.
