Cleaners - we paid them a contract price per clean, which included labor for laundry and materials for cleaning (clorox/windex/floor cleaner etc.).

While I am currently looking for multi-family duplex/triplex with an eye to use BRRRRR in the north shore area (north of Boston suburbs like Chelsea, Revere, Saugus, Swampscott, etc) class B/C properties, I am wondering whether this strategy in a "tenant-super friendly" state like Massachusetts's with current high interest rates (and therefore high construction/materials/contractor costs) is worthwhile at this time.

(biggerpockets.com)Also on a FB group for those intellectually challenged the sponsor promotes a company that will charge you $600+ to setup a LLC.

40 gallon, natural gas, assuming the space it sits in doesn't have to be modified and the existing flu pipe is good:  Material $450, Labor $80, includes haul off of old heater.Same size, electric, assuming no mods to the wiring or space: Materials $350, Labor $80.Add $40 parts and labor if a shut off needs to be replaced. 

I created a couple of resource materials like a neighborhood graded map and a contractor rolodex for my out-of-state investors.

Is there another cheaper flat material i can use instead of fiberglass inserts?

It’s a lot of labor, but low material cost.

@Christopher FrazeTo clarify, you need to meet two factors:1) More than 50% of the personal services you perform in all businesses during the year MUST be performed in a real estate business you materially participate.2) You must work at least 750 hours in a real estate trade or business.If either you or the spouse qualifies as a Real Estate Professional then you will be permitted to deduct all passive activity losses from your rentals against ordinary income from whatever sources derived.

I had some problems with the management company not advertising promotions at all and likely over-screening potential tenants.
