Looks like a normal C- Ohio crapbox.

In my development I am building a few of my clients have had packages stolen and one theif even took the welcome mat :)  but these are normal front yards etc.  

If it's a simple living room to bedroom conversion, it likely won't be that difficult to return to "normal" if that's ever needed but definitely a great thing to keep in mind.

In our situation, property managers won't likely fit into the pie since we are looking to sell the property in the open market.However, you can always leverage your "rock star" agent who found you the deal (assuming it's not an offmarket deal or from a wholesaler) to check up on the construction every so often.

-Or is this normal and I eat the repair costs? 

For sure that is zip to zip but generally longer vacancies might be the normal for certain zips/streets. 

There are a couple of DIY cost segregation companies that provide you a questionnaire to complete to generate your report.I normally recommend a home inspection and appraisal in hand when completing the questionnaire.The completion of the study is instant.Best of luck.

But with my head held high gone was all the normal trappings of RE success being served as a big slice of humble pie :(.

He said he would bring him on to the deal but a little while later we found out that they were awarded the deal, but they said that MF Capital, Ryan Woolley and Tyler Deveroux’s company took way too much of the pie for them to have anything left over to bring us in on.

While this amount of evictions seems higher than normal, even for a rough area, in general low end areas = fewer qualified tenants = more tenant fraud and more consistent evictions.
