Even I could see that lines weren't straight, dry wall was not done correctly and the electrical didn't look right.When we questioned the Gc about this he always had a different story - *he had drilled through the PG&E cable at his own house so couldn't be at our house that week as he had to tend to his own house.* he had fallen getting out of a cab and he couldn't walk for the next few days* he had spent all the money we'd already paid him on fixing up his own house and couldn't pay his subs that weekSo many red flags and warning signs along the way.

I know I can get 3 people @ 300-350 a month not including electric (I've already inquired a few good friends of mine and they've all agreed to move off campus to save some money) With that being said, I'm thinking this will cashflow about $180 per month, which sounds great to me.

When you know what someone wants and giving them what they want gets you what you want principals are a foolish waste of energy.

Time and energy are valuable commodities so if you don't have the desire to do hands-on rehab work or manage properties, vet tenants, handle maintenance issues etc, then self-managing or flipping may not be for you.

Hi,I'm a new member from Texas who is currently employed in the energy industry.

They have the money, but don't have the time and energy to waste.  

Are the electrical and plumbing capable of handling the extra load from the new units?

But if you go that route, then you are negating so much of what makes investing in real estate profitable, and at that rate, why not just invest in some high dividend energy stocks and be done with it? 

We've worked with Arno's Electric before and they did a good job for us.
