I am looking seriously at "Activator" by Mastermind software which integrates (seamlessly they say) with ACT.

If the switch is white you can just spray paint them.It depends on what kind of rental you have with what they expect.We have small old water stains from previous leaks on the ceiling when tenant moves out.I buy a spray can of Kilz for 5 bucks and usually last about for 2 of my apartment units hitting spots.You can't tell afterwords with the ceiling and it looks great.It's cheaper than scraping popcorn and trying to match or scraping the whole ceiling and a flat ceiling because it is old showing all imperfections if you just scrape and paint it.On the light switches I agree it works to replace them all but in older apartment buildings I try not to do that because what I have found is the wiring in behind is cut short or has too much excess crammed in.So if the wiring was all clean and the right slack from out of the box it would be easy to replace.I have found that some go smoothly and the others are a bit of a pain to change out making adjustments.The Kilz for the ceiling I only do that on non-active leaks where the drywall still has integrity to it and is not sagging.If it is sagging I cut out and put a patch in and then popcorn over it after priming to stick.All my tenants want is a nice,clean place to live.If you have a high end tenants paying premium bucks then finish level and what the tenant expects will change.In mine replacing everything will only net me maybe another 30 bucks a month in rent and the thousands spent will take 5 to 8 years to recover if everything goes perfectly with each unit.

Putting yourself out there, having a business card, being professional, having integrity, etc.

It is a great way to get started, but honesty & integrity are key in this industry.

Ours is to loan to a few handfuls of experienced flippers with enough business for us, who understand what they’re doing, and who possess the integrity to do as they say.

I've never invested with him, but he has a great reputation (as does his company) and in all my interactions with him, he's exuded nothing but integrity and expertise.

Fannie Mae permits an appraisal to be based on the "as-is" condition of the property as long as any minor conditions, such as deferred maintenance, do not affect the safety, soundness, or structural integrity of the property, and the appraiser’s opinion of value reflects the existence of these conditions.

Zumper's core focus is actually our integrated applications & background screening tools.

When I mentioned this change in plan he insisted that he would only do a cash transaction with his property because he doesn't want the bank 'all up in his ****' as he says.Before people start questioning his integrity, I can vouch personally that this guy is a really good and honest person who I've seen do great things for people when he didn't have to.

Thanks for having me, I'm really looking forward to being integrated into a such an awesome group of people.I am new to Real Estate, I've been a door to door salesman for the past 3 years (I'm 23 now), after 3 winters of battling strangers on their doorsteps in -40 below temperatures I've lost the feeling in my knuckles but saved up about $200k.
