Having 2-3 contractors in each field is important, as your preferred guy won't always be available. 

You can also do this on a refinance.Else, you can find private money, take out a HELOC if you have a lot of equity, go hard money and then refinance after, or see if your preferred builder offers financing.

After assembling a lot of bed frames, I prefer the Zinus brand, and I would recommend contract grade furniture.Don't forget to sign up for pest control and both a renter's and landlord policy on your insurance.Hi Miguel - I’m also looking at the midtown  Sacramento area for multifamily…what is “contract grade” furniture please ?

I have no doubt this goes into the ranking algorithm.HOWEVER, I have found that I do prefer guests from Airbnb.  

@Michael Benanti I have it and have used it for analysis but I prefer the BP calculators.

Typically, we steer away from pet deposits in preference of pet rent / fee.

I do prefer having them take it to the bank tho.

I have one rental and actively looking to invest in another property, preferably a duplex in the Detroit area.  

I prefer to not hire an attorney unless I must because I am afraid it will cost a lot of money.

For this reason, I prefer to plan renovations when a long-term tenant moves out.
