We learned that contractors are hard to guard.

How do you know that a contractor is any good? 

Personally, I would never invest in a place I didn't even visit and also meet/interview the people who would be involved (agent, manager, contractor, etc.)

Sounds like you need to have a relationship with a couple of good contractors, 40k for vinyl siding sounds high, what was the material cost.  

For the 2-3 months of dry heat, (that most of us spend in the pool or at the lake) we get to enjoy 9-10 months of pure joyous weather without extreme rain, snow, hurricanes, tornados or any other extreme conditions. :)

We have our own design team, contractors, and real estate agency under one roof, which saves time, cuts costs, and improves communication across projects.

Speaking to a contractor, just to remodel 3 of the 8 buildings could cost around $750,000. 

What exactly happened with your contractor that went sideways? 

I didn’t really enjoy any part of being a landlord.

@Don Miller I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Cape Coral, Don.
