We are the guys you see mowing the lawns, putting band-aids on the roof, etc. while this process takes place.  

For those of you who find yourselves into more commercialized BRR or Renovation projects, do you find yourselves seeking the aid of an architect, or does that work go to someone else?

So I think this topic can be open to debate.Likes articleNeighborhood Scout articleDaily Finance articleBlack Enterprise articleArrest Records articleXfinity articleWhat is in common is that they all seem to be taking their information from crime statistics.

It seems like every year I am replacing several boards and I feel like I just keep slapping band aids on it when maybe what I need is a new deck surface.

That translates to more free cash flow and higher Enterprise Value and that Translates higher dividends and then to a higher stock price.Anyway, I'm beating this to death.

The only time that I have ever accepted a year's rent in advance is when it's a student and the parent cosigner is putting the money down for them (or financial aid like mentioned above).

What’s your experience with working with General Contractors in Enterprise?

We are also looking at potentially using the 203k program to roll our renovation costs into the loan and possibly aid in getting the reno work done by professionals in order to alleviate having to live in a work site (which we've done before and now dread).The property will be free of tenants to allow us to do a full renovation of all the units before raising the rents to the appropriate values for the current/future market.With that in mind, we have our inspections and walk throughs scheduled for this week, which may reveal more costly repairs, but assuming the major categories check out (roof, foundation, structure, permitting/coding, plumbing, electrical), we're wondering if any of you have recommendations for contractors that could assist us in getting this property turned around on-the-quick.

I've drunk the Kool Aid more than once.

Theres much less chance of this scenario if the Plumber goes a "change out " of a fixture4 No plumber worth his salt will do a "Band Aid " repair or restoration.Personally if a client wants me to do a half assed or Mickey Mouse repair job that is unsafe or with impede or jeopardize the integrity or soundness of the house,,,I will try and explain the need another way and try and sell the work again,,,if the guy wont listen to me and take my good advice I will walk,,,"sorry we didnt have a meeting of the minds Sir,,,please fell free to get another opinion,,,"5 Fixtures and plumbing materials installed in tract housing were better than nothing ,,but not much better,,,its time to change that old stuff out ,,lets face it.Other thing is,,,todays fixtures are much better in quality and function,,,case in point ,,,the new Pressure Balancing Shower Valves from firms like Moen,Symmons and Groehe,,,,grandma and little kids wont get scalded by hot water in the shower anymore6 The Swiss have a saying "Buy the best and you buy it once" or something like that,,,,,,same goes for plumbing7 If your Plumber has the same damn fixture installed in his own house,,,whatever the Hell it is ,you know damn well its good,,,hes seen it all,,,,,,and quess what busy plumber dont have time to work on their own damn plumbing,,,thats the last thing in world they wanna do8 Stay away from the "1/2 Plastic Junk" Faucets they sell in the Home Centers,,,,I wouldnt put those crummy faucets in my grand daughters "dollhouse"/Nor would I install one in my worst enemies house.They have integral leaks from the factory and they slip fit plastic fittings on the water supply tubing blow apart under pressure.Stay away pilgrims.Bad idea,,,,Hope this helps gang.Happy New YearDD in Los Angeles
