They do everything from framing, trim, painting, roofing, siding, flooring, cabinets, etc. and they can tell you when the plumber or electrician didn't show or did something wrong.

Could be a new roof, HVAC system, or new kitchen along the way (all of which could certainly add equity to the home irrespective of the year it was built).  

Figure that out and you'll have a roof over your head that pays for itself while you accelerate savings and repeat in 1-2 years.

By installing our own, we remove the wear and tear and damage the tenants do by moving W/Ds in and out and hooking them up wrong (which is common) and using cheap components that cause leaks and destroy floors and walls.

At one time they were trying to figure out how  to finance a $10,000,000 roofing and siding project but got bogged down with attorneys and all the mess that goes along with a project that size.

We've owned them for 20-plus years but the recent property tax increases have negatively impacted our cash flow as have major repairs such as roof replacements, AC units, etc.

Quote from @Mary Jay: Quote from @Owen Rosen: Quote from @Mary Jay: Hi guys, so I had a neighbors tree fall on the roof of my rental.

Before listing it, I had lots of expenses, including painting, floor refinishing, plumbing repairs, staging, cleaning, etc.In a 1031 exchange, I purchased two small multifamily homes which also have some roof work, painting, plumbing, etc. 

Get a list of recent inspections and permits to make sure the new roof and such were done right.Check with police if any reports for the property.What's included in the seller's expenses?
