I cant comment on the local markets, etc, but I would choose Cleveland for the simple fact you live there.

I installed cabinets, painted it, and made it back into a residential rental unit.

Therefore, due to the local jurisdiction, sometimes we choose to mutually terminate the lease and write a new one instead of modifying the original by agreement.

There seems to be a bit of hostility here from the contractors, and this was really just a question so I could better understand and more easily work with contractors.This question was for a first-time encounter with a new contractor not recommended to me by anyone I know.I am happy to give weekly checks for progress, purchase all materials upfront including all the fittings, nails, caulk, and whatever else the contractor chooses.

LOL.There are endless amenities to choose from so if you don't have a pool/spa/view, you can certainly provide many others that guests will enjoy!

You can choose to nonrenew them for no reason at all or for being habitually late.

If you choose not to show up, he would almost certainly be awarded a judgement.Of course, you could choose not to pay the judgement, but then he can send it to a collections agency and your credit score will be trashed.I don't see a scenario here where you get through this cleanly.  

I for one would dislike being pushed into a box, I'd prefer to choose my own stuff...and it really ain't that hard.Interesting concept though, I just do not see the value for a veteran Contractor or Imvestor.I'd ask for references before using them...

On top of this if at all possible I’d recommend choosing specific neighborhoods to become an expert on as opposed to just thinking “anywhere in the San Antonio market could work”.

We usually do any touch-up paint while we are there also.
