Some who are major players doing big stuff.

The house had some signs of foundation settlement when he bought it which were chalked up to age, however it’s clear now that there has been more recent movement (some of this may have been due to an earthquake a few years ago) causing about 3 inches of settlement along this very small house.   

Instead, shut off the water to the toilet and place a sign on the door "Art exhibit: Non-functioning bathroom."

So in most cases, I've found that very low bids are not an opportunity but a warning sign.   

It felt super dismissive, and it became clear he just wanted me to sign the papers.If I were to do this again, I’d reach out to more agents and have more conversations to find someone who is more empathetic. 

- You've got to go to the property for showing- Many do not show up, so you waste your time- Then you have to have a legally compliant rental application & lease- Some approved applicants disappear the day before or day of lease signing!

Hello @Yvonne Wang,The scope of work should include the following:- Basic info: Property address, client name, contractor's contact info, address, license#'s, signed general/operating agreement b/w contractor and client- Specification of repairs: Repair item, Quantity of items needed, total & per unit cost of items, taxes (if applicable), Completion hours, title of the person responsible for the repair item, written summary describing the work- Add'l info: Schedule of repairs, additional payment schedule details i.e. disbursement schedule, method of disbursement, deposits, holdback amounts, etc.The screenshot below highlights a couple of repair items.

After signing up and when it comes to managing the property they do the opposite. 

We drafted an addendum to the contract and the sellers signed it to add the extra parcels in for no extra cost!! 

Lease was signed before.
