Plumber's question about a series LLC, I'm going to punt on that one.  

I've gotten education in the whole process and I've been doing a lot of self educating on sites like these too, and I have every intention on making my business respected and reputable.

I'm in Houston, TX and if anyone knows of a good plumber...send him my way.

As far a saving costs on plumbers, electricians, etc you could shop it, but what does your GC say about that?

I have also found he had been blaming delays on things like plumbers and electricians I have used for years being too slow.

Repairs-  You cannot modify the property in any way so with some utilities requiring inspections before service can be initiated, any required repairs cannot be doneYou can have an inspector do a visual inspection and have a plumber do a pressure test which can identify some issues

Not sure if this is sound advice as I am not a plumber but it works for me.

If you get a reputation for over-priced properties, low rehabs, and/or inflated ARVs, your properties will sit.  

I'm a plumber.
