Other going to try rent without remodel if management gets done with other unit I will have them start this one.Called Laundry service- They provide 2 washers and dry and maintain and I get a small cut, plus I provide water and electric.

Cut out some of the bad spots in the drywall.

Also, it might be a good way to "cut your teeth" in this industry.The other thing to consider is that your time is worth a certain amount of money. 

@Jimmy Dudley  its sort of depends on where you live and closing customs.for instance on the west coast there is no such thing as a wet closing.. or having all parties come to the closing table.. simply never happens.so when we sell something here I usually go in and sign ( if I want to I can also just have them e mail docs and I sign and they send a courier to my office.. )this is done 2 to 10 days before closing.. then the buyers come in the 3 days before usually because they have their 3 day right of recession ( owner occ mortgages)  then the loan package goes back to the lender.. then the title company has to record in the morning.. and has to send recording numbers to the lender then the lender funds.. then the next day once this is done title company will cut checks or wire proceeds.. for us 100% wires we never get checks.. its always kind of comical when I am sitting in my office in Oregon closing a deal in some east coast state and the closing attorney sends me an email with the time of the closing and wants to know if that time is good for me like I am really going to be there..

A carpenter is a skilled tradesman that usually works with cutting and shaping wood.

If they are so worried about having a vacancy that they are willing to put a tenant in place with ZERO screening and are willing to let the old tenant walk all over them they are not cut out to be landlords. 

I'm not sure how wise it would be to cut them loose during rehab.To your success!

My question is how many deals did you guys have until your bank cut you off and what did you do to continue investing in properties?

This leads to frequent move-outs and escalating costs of ownership.  5% for maintenance and 5% for vacancy do not even come close to covering these costs.When companies are competing to see who can race to the bottom first (lowering prices and selling property cheaper and cheaper) they have to cut somewhere in order to make a profit.  

I feel like although I did a great job and the gentleman is happy there are things I could've done to cut the time but enhance the quality.Thanks
