The biggest drawback I am having is calculating cost for repairs & finding a reputable contractor for a fair price - I know nothing about renovations right now.  

I was wondering if anyone could provide a recommendation for a reputable property management company in Northern NJ that handles small multifamily? 

If you sue I think you would have to prove damages I believe.

@Christina B.No real damage to this incident but still baffling ... 

With that said, not every mortgage broker has an exceptional reputation.

Consider the tenant pool (neighborhood class), property damage, and think about future capex and repairs.

There's no margin for error on timing the turnover, let alone getting a tenant who causes excessive damage or needs to be evicted.    

Tree work, sewer line replacement/ repair, driveway repair, electrical main service replacement, HVAC, plumbing (galvanized/ polybutylene/ lead pipes failing/ water damage/ mold), garbage disposals, appliances are only made to last 3-5 years anymore, even handy people want $65/hr now, etc.

Because Class C & D tenants will statistically cause more damage to a rental than Class A or B tenants.While "maintaining to the neighborhood" is a logical approach, it's often difficult to put into action.

Does anybody have any reputable sources?
