A borrower must choose his or her own contractors to perform the needed renovation.Ø All Contractors participating in the HomeStyle Renovation Program must complete a Contractor Profile Report.

I openly share the historical performance of my Detroit rentals for anyone interested.

I am looking to hire an established Denver firm to perform a cost segregation study on a rental.

I spend a total of 5 days a month performing maintenance related duties(replace flooring, windows, plumbing issues, ect.).

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsAccording to the site:To purchase real state/real property, perform rehabs where necessary, lease the properties, collect rents, distribute income as dividends to shareholders.Rad Diversified realizes revenues from rents and interest on certain investments, as well as capital gains from increases in the value of its real estate portfolio.They are a REIT so they have to distribute 90% of their taxable income per year (which of course could be zero due to depreciation).  

You also need to make sure this lender is able to perform on their promise. 

I believe it is a larger issue than what we define as the economy, which is mostly measured in corporate profits and Wall Street performance, this is not what the average person perceives.

As the legally required small print in the offering of financial products reads: "Past performance is no guarantee of future performance".

A net rental income analysis will be performed to determine the net cashflow from each property.

Because they aren't traditional tenants in the sense with a 1 year lease and to determine fit for the house, I like to start everyone on 2-4 month leases and see how they perform.
