I'd suggest you start asking other investors in your market for general contractor referrals- people who do quality and reasonable work on rental properties in your market.

The craziest part is I actually hit their proverbial “bar” and they continue to come up with excuses why it’s not a deal.

Did you have people like a real estate agent, contractors, bookkeepers, a CPA, and all of those other roles already on your "team" or did you just purchase the first property and find people for those roles as you went?

Not meant for people to read into the question in that way.

Feel free to reach out or send me an email I can walk you through a few locations based on your preference.There are also some other great counties that a lot of people are not really talking about yet I can share those as well.

You can always ask for a copy of the SS Card along with ID and Pay stub.Yeah, they have to verify you because you are requesting other peoples information.

Note: Most people will argue that those companies listed above build less than subpar houses, but that is not the case. 

I think I’d like to start investing in my Roth IRA which I have but haven’t contributed since I’ve bought the duplex back in September 22 but I’m trying to figure out my budget again because I’ve moved to Los Angeles to live with my gf.My reserves have definitely taken a hit so I’d like to build it back up and am hesitant to start contributing again until I can have a reserve for my real estate (thinking 6 months worth until I’m comfortable contributing to Roth again)Is this dumb?

Many people buying items online, especially clothes, very much appreciate the ability to have a store nearby to seamlessly do returns at.

When I had my property management company (and the people I sold it to and manage my properties continued it) the policy was late fees are split 50/50, which I think is the ideal scenario.My rational was it takes more time and effort as a PM to collect when a person isn't paying, and at the same time the owners might not receive the rent when they should, so 50/50 compensated us both.
