It's really tough finding a reliable and honest contractor who does quality work.

The experience reinforced the importance of working with reliable partners like Billy Medlen and focusing on targeted improvements that maximize a property’s appeal and profitability.

And then invest and the company does no other verification of their status.

When I asked the point of contact for additional information (contract, copy of earnest money check, bank account verification) , they went silent.

Building a reliable network of contractors is one of my main goals for this year to help me scale up moving forward.

What has been the most reliable way for you to calculate this?

We had a third party report done for our prior offerings (similar to how a mutual fund has a third party verification report to verify the returns). 

It may be time to shop around for a new one who will actually add value to your investment.If you want a recommendation for a reliable property manager in the Lehigh Valley, I’d be happy to share some contacts.

If they’re facing a short-term financial hiccup and you feel they’re otherwise a reliable tenant, you might consider setting up a plan for them to catch up on what they owe.

Sometimes, just knowing the rigth people...whether that’s sharp-minded agents who see a gem before it’s polished or a reliable contractor who’s not going to vanish mid-renovation...can make all the difference.If I had to do it all over again with $80K in my pocket, I’d jump on that first multifamily, rent it out, and let the tenants’ checks pay off the mortgage month after month.
