Being able to do your own renovations and improvements will give you a serious advantage when house hacking or even working on your own projects.Akron has some solid real estate opportunities, especially for house hacking in multi-family homes.

I had a guy come to one of my houses recently and he said the situation improves once moisture is removed.  

I’m simplifying the numbers here to focus on the main concept, so I’m leaving out factors like expenses, improvements, property management, repairs, etc., for now.Here’s the scenario:- I bought my house in 2022 for $1MM and used it as my primary residence.- In 2024 (after 2 years), I moved out and converted it into a rental.

They do 2 jobs...e.g one job and then Uber or Skip the dishes so they are never really at home but about 10 students living there so 2 per room.

A 60-year-old woman with great credit, rental history, and 20 years at the same job?

You can call a beekeeper, but I usually would not take a job removing a swarm because they are often gone by the time I get there.

Been using them for year and they have improved ALOT and are still fairly affordable. 

I have heard Texas and most areas would be closer to $100 when its all said and done.You can find good contractors through realtors, HBA in your area, REI Facebook groups and meetups etc.Make sure to check references of past and current clients, visit some jobs in process as you can tell a lot about a contractor by how the job site is kept up and organized.

NOT ONE person can say I sold them a prop and never renovated it or " did my job " ever.  

Instead, focus on improving your skillset, helping more clients at a high level and implementing systems in your business.
