Hey everyone, what tools/method do you use for estimating the cost of maintenance and repairs of a multi-family home (2-4 units) ?

Thanks Hi Spencer, I have a seven-figure portfolio that is a combination of both hands-on (direct real estate) and hands-off (syndication and crowdfunding)In my opinion, both have their pros and cons and neither is 100% superior to the other.

Post on Craigslist seems like another 'guru' but I cannot put my finger on it, he seems to be following Cherif method, not sure what to make of it.

And when their methods don’t work and you turn to your favorite guru for advice, what do they tell you?"

They have a total of 2 posts both defending the subject company, guru, method, etc.4.

I’m sourcing carefully and trying to approach it methodically, especially with the added layer of investing out of state.It’s good to hear advice from someone with experience.

Also, it often helps to connect with a local agent/do extensive due diligence on renovated/new construction properties to see what the property may sell for or appraise for (if doing BRRRR method) as that can impact the price you should pay.

Does anyone have a template or method that they use in order to screen tenants effectively in order to reduce the risk of non payment and damage to the property? 

Instead of focusing on move-in-ready rentals, consider fixing up a cheaper property (BRRRR method) to add value and boost cash flow.

I've been thinking a lot about Florida and I believe it's a great state for future potential investments such as purchasing and renting out (utilizing the BRRRR Method Of Course).
