Do you have any recommendations for a good tile person?

Consider materials that are easier to install or have lower shipping costs to reduce overall expenses.Buy in Bulk: For investors handling multiple projects, purchasing materials in bulk or sourcing from wholesale suppliers can save money.

However, if you're talking about flooring, tile, cabinetry, electrical, plumbing, etc... that will add up quickly. 2) Did you confirm the market rents in several ways/methods?

If you are early in the project, you can often scale down other parts of the renovation to cover the cost, i.e. that terrazzo tile that would have been perfect is no longer in the budget.  

I installed a mini-split HVAC in one of my units a few months ago.

Most home warranty policies would cover leaks.As far as what is acceptable, in my market (Milwaukee) nobody bats an eye on cast iron sewer pipes or clay tile sewer lateral.

My property manager then sent another technician who said the gutters need to be cleaned and recommended installing leaf guards around the entire duplex, along with larger downspouts and overflow guards, for a total of $3,013.

The pavers were originally sealed when they were installed, and the driveway is about 5yrs old.

When two separate plumbers looked into the issue they both determined the shower needed to be replaced because it was improperly installed (by prior homeowners we purchased it from) causing the leak.As for the length of time the repair will take, it was 3 days total to rip out the shower, install the new concrete pad, install the new shower, etc.

I have a 3 year old unit that cost me $10,000 to install that may need to be replaced soon because of tenant shenanigans.
