If your property management company is good and has built an internal maintenance team which has set rates and had strong relationship relationships with licensed contractor which should keep costs in control, you should never need to shop contractors on your own I wouldn't think.So in short, our policy is give us your preferred contractors upfront if you have them, but then we work all tickets to resolution including dispatch, and payment of invoices.This is of course for operational expenses.  

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

OF course, you may have all this stuff figured out, but the original post was vague.

I dont want to hear about you selling me your course or advice at a "new customer price" .

i.e. buying and selling notes.Of course the mortgage is attached to the property. 

@Matt Powers  Have you done any training, schooling in real estate investing? 

Of course, if the snow is not getting shoveled, that’s not good and needs compliance correction activities by the PM.

Of course, thank you! 

@Aeon Jones and @Scott Preston...did either of you pay the $4,800 (or $6,800) to Vodyssey and take the course? 

Of course want better close rate but when those numbers I would be ok with
