I am doing owner builder so hiring subs for each job.

Hi,I am thinking to hire one duplex with two property managers for each unit (as existing property manager taking too long to find good tenant).

Hire an interior designer.💡 How do you keep rehab costs under control and avoid surprise expenses?

It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.

edit to add: I just saw their page says they're also hiring for admin assistant, transaction coordinator, and wholesale acquisition trainee - wonder if those would still get me good experience and lessons without all the fees

They offer great advice on handling these situations, including tips on dealing with the sheriff and eviction procedure, as well as navigating money judgment collection.In terms of whether you should hire a lawyer or manage it yourself, it depends on the complexity of your specific case and your comfort level with the process.

You could arrange to have your cleaners accept the deliveries at the property or hire a local handyman to do same and even assemble furniture.

They will let you know what you can and can't do without a permit and what you are able to do yourself within the scopes of those permits.My concern is because this is a rental, if you do anything that is not to code and the tenant reports it, you will likely have some much bigger issues to deal with.Given you note this is major rehab, I tend to lean to hire most, if not all, out. 

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

We negotiated a price that worked for both parties, closed within three weeks, and took the property down ourselves.This deal was so clean, we didn’t even need to hire professional cleaners.
