Hanging around a person  that is in the trenches is the key ,lots of this is the ability to mange people ,money .It is tougher now because of the market is really hot making deals hard or a real haggling experience .If folks know you have real money they may allow to take up there time  ,lots of folks are just talkers with no money so they have nothing to make the connection  worth while .

@Willson Ng,I would agree to start locally.As for attorneys. 

Hi Jacob,It's probably not reasonable wear and tear, but it looks like a typical accident with this type of flooring.In many instances just the problem tiles can be cut out and replacements re-glued down.A good maintenance tech (with the proper type of floor in place already) should be able to fix this quickly.An owner doing it:a) Might not care much and disregard it.b) Freak out and want to charge you for a whole new floor replacement, not understanding tiles (in most instances) can be changed out if broken.c) call a fix up handyman who will charge time and materials (however long he takes to fix it using his own favorite method of fixing).and if it's a property managed either a), or c) but add to c) a (possibly) charge for the mangers time handling it too.The Click Lock type of flooring may take more time and effort (cost) to fix than the Tape or Glue Down.If the place is the Taj Mahal it will probably be more noticeable than if the place is more down on it's heels.And fixing means being able to get a matching piece (typically from extra ordered when it was installed, to use for just this purpose).If you are renting in a big professionally manged complex it's likely they will have spare tiles in storage for this use, and be VERY much used to replacing them.Here is one of the easier (quicker) types to fix.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Hello @Ivan Ng.

Switch units to natural gas and if you have oil currently, try and use up as much as possible now because it is expensive to correctly remove heating oil from a property if you switch to NG; do small oil fill ups until it is summer (also diesel fuel is the same as heating oil). 2.

Purchase price: $163,000 Fourplex that I owner-occupied and manged for 1.5 years.

You may be able to raise the equity from investors through a traditional offering and hire a fee developer or consultants to mange the project for you.As for returns developers are mainly focused on CoC, ROI and IRR as the main metrics.

I learned a ton from working with our syndication attorneys on how to mange money for other investors and all of the Private Placement Memorandum documents Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@Patrick Ng Great news!
