We also wouldn't recommend trying to DIY manage.Most S8 tenants will be Class C and Class C properties are extremely difficult to manage remotely!

Perhaps one level is just to clean up the unit and install new appliances.

We plan to remove the carpet next year and install LVF to increase property's value and potentially bump the rent. 

Installing quarter round trim saved $1k.

@Brandon Weis when it comes to PMCs, you'll find two main camps here on BP:1) Hardcore DIY landlords that think & promote EVERYONE should DIY manage. - Many are okay and actually understand DIY PM is not for everyone, but there are some that only have negative comments about PMCs.2) Owners & PMCs that promote hiring professionals.- Some PMC members are only here to promote themselves and don't offer much of value.

@Yixiong Panin our opinion, it depends on the Property Class/Tenant.Class A: most people can DIY manage and learn what they need to know on the fly.Class B: A bit harder, takes more time and there's more risk with maintenance and tenants.Class C: should only be attempted by EXPERIENCED landlords!

We hired another contractor (a church friend of a realtor that we'd used in the past and we trust this realtor 100%) and paid him $15,000 to start the same project and everything went great; he completed demolition, installed the new roof, and got some permits (roof permit, electrical, and plumbing).

If you feel comfortable drafting the deed yourself and going to the County Recorder to record, you may be able to do it that way, but be wary of unnecessarily screwing up the chain of title or marking something incorrectly, as often happens with DIY projects in the legal world.

Is there any online services/tools where I can do the above DIY?
