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.  

Build a team out that will help support you in hitting your goals and get cranking!

The numbers can look great on paper, but the success really depends on buying in the right areas, managing renovations well, and having a solid team in place for property management.If you’re thinking about buying, fixing, and renting, I’d recommend starting by learning as much as you can about the different neighborhoods.

It’s a great reminder to trust your own due diligence and not let others make critical decisions for you, like hiring a property manager.For future investments, building a trusted team and maintaining direct oversight is key, even with remote deals.
