That negative statement is about you, not about them, and you definitely come off as some kind of scam.If you're trying to do this business with no money or investment of your own, then you're very new in the game and this type of transaction is what hurts the reputation of investors. 

It may not affect a single deal, but if you get a reputation in your area as someone who isn't reasonable, is always trying to save another $1000, then you run the risk of other professionals calling your competitors instead of you when deals come up.Being easy to deal with and understanding that the other guys need to make a buck too goes a long way.

You will have extra plumber calls due to smells and backed up toilets and the cost of the toilets.

BP Folks:I have a property under contract in NE Philly (19124) and I'm looking for a home inspector. Any recommendations?Thanks.

@HAILEY ERSKINE Good for you, get the ducks in the row, start collecting 1) realtor, 2) real estate attorney, 3) cheap title search, 4) CPA, 5) Contractors (handymen, electricians, plumbers, roofers), 6) Insurance. 

@Lindsey ThomsponGet a few estimates from reputable contractors then decide based on the numbers.

I’m interested in companies that are reputable and have extensive experience with smaller to medium apartment complexes, say up to 50 units.

I don't interact with tenants personally and have a reputable property manager who handles all tenant relationships.

I'm not sure if that means there were none to be found, or they are not coming up in that company's search, either.This is NY's way of helping the "downtrodden" deadbeat tenants find housing in the future and avoid facing consequences of the reputations they forged with their own actions.

Quick question: We’re new to landlording and a pump in our tenant’s unit broke leaving them unable to use the kitchen sink for 5 days until the plumber can replace it.
