My name is Bryce and im a 26 year old auto mechanic.

. $20/ft is a pretty decent rehab (some mechanicals, foundation, paint, flooring). $30/ft is a complete gut job.

Factor the condition of the major mechanicals and budget for them.  

Hi every one, First i have to say great site, i've been reading different discussions for a while now and finally decided to take the time and join.I've been in the construction field for some time now, and also worked as a union elevator mechanic  throughout NY and NJ for about 10 years. about 3 years ago invested all i had into starting a small landscaping business. although i haven't seen any return ( all profit seems to go back into the company, always a new piece of equipment to purchase) it is growing.

You might call some repair guys in your area to get an idea of what brands they recommend because different brands have different mechanisms, some of which are prone to problems.I do not like leases for two reasons: 1) the coin collectors have sticky fingers, and you cannot prove it because it is cash; 2) the lease companies often make it tough, if not impossible, to end the lease with them.

My mechanical contractors are the one area I never cut costs.

Property is in a pending foreclosure status because lender called the note becasuse a mechanics liens was put on title....

Pepco came in and didn't provide many options.Regarding the bills, once again tenants are usually expected to pay, but they complained when bills got to $500 due to inefficient mechanicals so owner covered....
