Told him I have a rule never east anything out of a frig with the electric off for 6 years!

Where I see my clients do really well for their clients is the HVAC is brand new electrical panel new  Roof brand new etc etc.. kind of like those that buy new construction for rentals those folks are paying full retail for those..

Most blinds are tough and time consuming to clean, prone to breakage/creases, strings break and get stained etc. 

I have been playing the multifamily game for almost 10 years now, and the GRM is one of my least favorite methods personally since it ignores so many important factors (steam boiler versus electric baseboard heat as an example). 

Does that mean the applicant had a clean criminal record or that the 3rd party wasn't able to screen the applicant?

At AHP, we sometimes see clean out estimates of $3,000 - 4,000 and know well that a local investor could probably get the work done for $500.                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Water is shut off and they are removing the electrical meter.

The weather is great there, its cheap and ecology is clean.  

@Diana Teng there are a LOT of potential pitfalls:(So, it's vitaly important to not just find someone that you think you can trust because they tell you what you want to hear, but you find someone that their processes seem a good fit for what you want.EXAMPLE: we do BRRR Turnkeys for clients and take numerous vides we share with them - initial, worst state of any demo, when HVAC, plumbing, electrical update BEFORE walled in, before any major payouts and of course a final walk-thru video.One thing that's accurate from all the HGTV renovation/flip shows is that you should expect and plan for surprises!

My PM, who did not know my realtor, said the house looked good, nothing needed to be done, and got it rented.Turns out both were terrible, the house needed new HVAC, AC, windows, Doors, Pipe fixes, Water Heater, electric line, I found all this out after my Tenant Sued us because of the house's condition.We spent a 9 months of the tenants chasing off contractors before we got it repaired and the tenants out, then the judge granted us all our rent so we finally go that.
