As for tenant demand, choosing properties in core locations is more stable.I find it easier to add value to a mediocre but prime location deal than to strike a good deal on a substandard property. 

They can choose to leave and you can both sign an agreement to terminate the tenancy, or, you are going to file for eviction and it will probably wreck their credit. 

Is that 25% down on the total construction costs when you choose to break-ground? 

There seems to be a bit of hostility here from the contractors, and this was really just a question so I could better understand and more easily work with contractors.This question was for a first-time encounter with a new contractor not recommended to me by anyone I know.I am happy to give weekly checks for progress, purchase all materials upfront including all the fittings, nails, caulk, and whatever else the contractor chooses.

They are not as good as screwing to a stud but work a lot better than those plastic inserts.No matter what you choose to do to your rental property’s bathroom, just make sure it looks good and can hold up to tenants’ wear and tear.

I for one would dislike being pushed into a box, I'd prefer to choose my own stuff...and it really ain't that hard.Interesting concept though, I just do not see the value for a veteran Contractor or Imvestor.I'd ask for references before using them...

@Eric Miller Choosing between one $600k property at 70% LTV and four $300k properties at 95% LTV depends on your goals, risk tolerance, and management capacity.

I was really picky on choosing my first property, I was looking for cheap but nice and after waiting a couple of months and going to many open houses, i finally found this gem, I think I need to be pickier with my properties, so they can turn put Luke this one and cash flow.

That stuff I can hire out more in the future but I am choosing to put more of my maintenance budget in my pocket for now. 

Here's why some choose bricks and mortar:Tangible Asset: You own a physical property with potential for appreciation.Leverage: Use debt (mortgages) to magnify your returns (not possible with stocks).Passive Income: Rents provide a steady income stream (dividends are not guaranteed with stocks).
