I'm a pretty handy guy but this would be outside of my realm, but my experience helps me understand how much this type of improvement should cost.Improvements: remodel kitchen and bathroom, paint interior, fix exterior scafolding.How should I go about finding a contractor?

Our third partner, who has experience with smaller projects in Detroit, also finds this endeavor overwhelming.

I know this is probably quite rare, but if anyone has any experience in this, any advice will be appreciated.Thanks,Gene

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or experiences you can share to help me make an informed decision.

Most times, the top of a brokers list are those with experience who they've worked with in the past.

Here are some trends that could play out, or further develop in 2025.Leasing & Tenant Experience AI-Powered Leasing: Chatbots and AI tools will streamline leasing processes, from answering tenant inquiries to scheduling tours.Virtual Tours & Digital Leasing: These will become even more standard, making it easier for tenants to rent remotely.TechnologySmart Property Management: IoT devices (smart locks, thermostats, etc.) will become more common, improving efficiency and tenant satisfaction.Property Management Software: Platforms will integrate more AI for predictive maintenance, rent collection, and financial reporting.SustainabilityGreen building practices and energy-efficient upgrades will be a major focus, driven by tenant demand and potential incentives.AI & AutomationAI will play a bigger role in tenant screening, rent pricing optimization, and even predicting market trends.Automation will handle repetitive tasks like maintenance requests and lease renewals, freeing up PMs for higher-level activities.I'm sure there are plenty more shifting trends that I haven't mentioned and that are sure to evolve over the next year. 

Does anyone have any experience (or know someone or a company that might) be able to demo a concrete staircase Ana turn it into a driveway and ADU ramp ?

•My goal is to build long-term cash flow through rental properties while ensuring my partners see strong returns.I’d love to connect with investors interested in passive income opportunities or those who have experience structuring joint ventures.

But in my experience, you would be better off spending that same amount of time/hustle working a second part-time job with guaranteed income, then investing in buy-and-hold properties. 

But my experience over the last 10 years of building new homes is that NOTHING comes down might stay the same but will rise almost annually Like Cement always goes up in Jan.
