I think you need to account for that in-order to know your return It was recently renovated (new paint and carpet/HVAC), so when I looked over the property I noticed it might need a new gutter/downspout out back, possibly a new rubber roof (or patch) and some odds and ends.

They'll need to calk the trim and patch the nail holes on the trim.For exterior painting after the windows go in but I also wouldn't recommend painting on the hottest day of the year.

try patch of land 

Not because you broke even but because of how you learned so much despite all the rough patches!

These are my 2 favorites in the last 7 years.1 hour- Dead petrified cat in the middle of the living room, removal of dead cat3 hour- tenant stated live racoon dropped through ceiling while watching tv- repaired hole in soffit and patched/repaired drywall

With the cracking going all the way to the roof line it's going to be a very expensive repair and not a matter of just patching the hole.

As for titles like CPA, you can add them to your signature already with the new patch.

Anyway, we pulled them out, patched and floated the holes, and then painted the interior.

If you were to dumb it down to one single rudimentary difference between "cheap" solutions vs Lead Propeller and Investor Carrot type sites its this: buy it yourself, pick it yourself, build it yourself, maintenance itself, back it up yourself, restore it yourself, patch it yourself, replace plugins that are no longer compatible yourself, become an expert in 3-5 different types of technology that all are "supposed" to work together yourself AND let someone else more effectively do it for you for very little "extra" money than what it would actually cost you.I have built countless websites on Wordpress, countless plugins, recovered from viruses, done some Joomla/WIX, HTML, etc sites and I can tell you: IT SUCKS.

They are also fully insured (liability and workmen's comp).For a typical 2000 sf house, 3 color interior (trim, walls, ceiling) and a 3 color exterior (siding, trim, doors/shutters), plus moderate sheetrock prep/patching (total maybe two boards of patching and lots of prep) and moderate siding work (total maybe 10 boards of siding and lots of prep), they'd charge about $4500 (anywhere from $4000-5000).The additional benefit of working with them is that they sub out most of the rest of the work that doesn't require permits (demo, finish electrical, finish plumbing, carpet/vinyl, carpentry/doors, etc), so they manage about 70% of every rehab.
