If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

I did this prior to my R2R purchase to ensure my numbers were in the same range as R2R's projections.

Again, this is due to how long it was taking to get work done, the quality and lack of communication (I'm happy to post examples as well), and frankly, the quality of work expected once I realized how many things I was not told about before the purchase.However, you did not offer in any way to address issues left by the prior tenant and made it clear that it was my responsibility.

With the increased competition, it’s crucial to prepare your property to stand out and work to address obvious buyer objections prior to going on market.

@Dennis Knapp - Bigger Pockets has a book called "Estimating Rehab Costs" that was published in 2019 prior to pandemic.

Typically these policies are also capped at a max interest rate around 8%.

Short term, leaving financing in place during rehab prior to resale — great strategy with limited risk to either party.

If your property management company is good and has built an internal maintenance team which has set rates and had strong relationship relationships with licensed contractor which should keep costs in control, you should never need to shop contractors on your own I wouldn't think.So in short, our policy is give us your preferred contractors upfront if you have them, but then we work all tickets to resolution including dispatch, and payment of invoices.This is of course for operational expenses.  

But i was able to achieve the elusive infinite return on a majority of my RE and all of my investment RE that I purchased prior to 2020.Infinite return has the benefit that the finances are not the hindrance to scale.
