I subbed out the Painting, HVAC and electrical wiring for the laundry and furnace to my friends in the trades (helped out too).

If you hire the skilled trades that can pull permits you can have you handyman do the rest.

Both of these boilers are about 3-4 years old.Being an engineer by trade, I first decided to look at them myself in case it's something trivial.

But in general with turnkey the trade off is usually a lower return for not having to fund a property yourself and doing the rehab etc . 

Hi everyone!This is my first time posting on Bigger Pockets. I live in the Bay Area and work for a public home-builder as a Land Acquisition Analyst. My day-to-day tasks include in-depth market research, pro forma com...

Hi everyone,I'm hoping to either get pointed in the right direction for a lender, or get some feedback on a question of whether I should consider "trading up" out of the property I own.I own a duplex in Richmond, Ca that I purchased in March of 2017 for $362,000.

If you verify you are treating them fairly, that may be all they need.If the clients want to save money, offer a trade off - they take on lawn care, and you reduce rent by the amount saved monthly (unless you were planning a rent increase to keep on track with your financial goals).

And there's not really a chart of what qualifies for shorter depreciation, it's more like "assets used in distributive trades and professional services, not including section 1250 assets." are 5 year assets.

The day will come.While you are waiting, learning and saving try to get a job in the trades so you can get some experience.

Of course there's always grunt work to be done so you have to be comfortable and aligned on what the trade off of working vs learning is.
