There are best practices on certain items that provides a guidelines.Commissions are always negotiable like any other services, you can shop around for the best value for money.All depends on the risks that you are willing to take.

@Connor Bath,Good luck, this looks like a fun project.

Seems like a hassle to remove cameras from inside every time a guest is coming.Outdoor cameras are good for near the front door but otherwise keep them out of areas people will gather or near pools/hottubs.I have the Eufy cameras (solar) near the door and Schlage Connect Z Wave locks.

Knowing the rent will likely show up each month—even if the tenant has challenges—removes a lot of the uncertainty that can come with rentals.The people listing this apartment as a “Section 8 property” are likely trying to target buyers who value that stability.

Trying to get a split level (not a lot of sqft) on the market in the next three weeks and trying to decide on whether to open the wall between the dining and living room for a feel of openness or leave it as I have heard from two interior designers that the open concept is on the way out as we are more at home and liking our separate areas in the home.Pragmatically speaking the opening of the wall will be mostly a time drain with it being a load bearing wall and having to support the ceiling while rebuilding and all the drywalling necessary.

It seems like the initial amount for the 1st year on 10 flips is off. 

It seems like your goal is appreciation or that you are willing to sacrifice cash flow for appreciation, as long as your return is trending in the right direction.

Platforms like Procore, JobTread, Buildertrend, and FlipperForce have caught my eye, but I want to make sure I’m considering the best fit for my needs.Here’s what I’m looking for in a solution:Cost Estimation: A tool that accurately calculates material and labor costs.Project Oversight: Features to manage tasks, schedules, and budgets efficiently from start to finish.Vendor Integration: Real-time updates on pricing and inventory from suppliers like Home Depot or other suppliers.Material Suggestions: Automation or recommendations based on the rehab’s scope and specifications.Labor Planning: Tools to predict labor hours and staffing requirements for each phase of the project.For those of you who’ve used any of these platforms (or others), I’d love to hear your thoughts:Which software have you found most effective and why?

While they may face intense competition, if you’re able to hold onto your investment for at least five years, you’ll likely be in a strong position.

Yes, House Hacking seems like the most ideal option when considering my first investment (open to other forms of ownership, such as live-in flips as well).
