I did the mgmt, application processing and inspection - - others did the DIY stuff or I  hired professionals when required.I ALWAYS was the point of contact and then delegated if/as needed. 

While I think I'm fairly handy (but extremely slow compared to a pro), I don't think I have the time to get into rehabs, neither in DIY nor in the managing sub-contractors way.

We share a passion for building, designing and DIY projects.

Diy improvements over the next year can put you in a great situation to refinance the equity in order to come up with the 20% down payment for the rental property.

I've been DIY on the turns to control costs but it's also costing me time and stress so I was interested to see what outsourcing that would cost.

Do you have any construction background or just a DIY type of guy?

I agree with a couple of things already mentioned: DIY or hire someone to do regular perimeter spray in each unit quarterly.

Hi Amiris,Thanks for your comment.We launched like 2 weeks ago with a half A$$ed website and ZERO marketing and already recruited 7 agents.I have had VC's throwing money at me like crazy but we are looking at bootstrapping for now until we prove the concept and maybe raise money on our terms.Looking at including all of these things in our online platform:Live support, training and “How To” video’s, various marketing templates, a CRM database management software, a DIY social media account set up, a DIY personal website set up, create own Dotloop signature tool, online continual education courses and a full blown real estate library of videos, tips, webinars, courses, etc..I'm super excited about this mate and believe it to be the new revolution of real estate brokerages Thanks again

My dad is a contractors, so one of my goals is picking up some knowledge from my him to help me DIY / manage contractors as well as possible.

If you plan to DIY use QuickBooks.
