Aaron and Ryan Webber are going to put together a great session for both the beginner with no experience, and the more advanced investor who is looking for strategies to help manage deal flow that they may not have the manpower or cash to handle.

Apparently they just dont have the man power to service anything unless there is a clear revenue stream for them I mentioned that I had heard that the REO market was taking off and must be sending more business their way.

The thing is we have the man power to rehab homes, an in-house property management company, and the builders to buy lots down the road.

They might cost more, and not have the manpower of the bigger outfits, but they will feed their family with your business, so they will care to keep you happy.

They need WAY more regulations than they have, and policies need manpower to be enforced. 

The irs has not had a lot of manpower or tools to investigate SDIRAs in the past but that is changing as more people are using SDIRAs.

However he is saying it’s going to be a tough grind because its a old block house that had tons of concrete on inside walls & during the demolition the extra manpower it took...we wanted an open floor plan.

If you don't understand something, bigger companies have enough man power to answer the question and when you get the info you need you can come back to less expensive contractors and negotiate with them, if they are within the range.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.David,Here's what I do for my multi-family buyers:Yes it is hard to estimate for maintenance because of a lot of variablesBut I know its expense is less for more units, for things like 16+ unit buildings, onsite maintenance room for storage materials, onsite employees use less hours to do work ordersSome entities even volunteer their residents to pick up grounds, hence minimizing your maintenance costsIf hdsupply.com accepts your account they specialize in multi-family buildings and you don't have to use man power for delivery or pickups And yes, you can do analysis paralysis but it might help you the bank's formula DCRThe 1031 buyers look at expenses differently Yes there's a number per door, e.g. if the units have been neglected you will spend at least one month's rent in turn ready unit expense    An organized well lubricated team should turn ready units in 2-3 daysPay close attention to the human factor, i.e. low self-esteem employees who will take longer to turn ready units or do work orders with poorly workmanship, theft, etc In capital expenses, concentrate in a few and more expensive to start with, AC, plumbing, electrical

I've had credit for less than a year and haven't filed income taxes yet, my first filing will be for 2015.This way I will have the income, experience, business history needed to get loans and show operating capability, and I could use that company for all our real estate transactions.Another advantage would be having the manpower to purchase buildings and keep the management "in house", while at the same time having some income from the existing management  contracts they have in-place.I am looking for a company with at least 5 years in business, cash flowing 300-400K, healthy financials and no debt.
