They may have economy of scale but the consistency of delivered product is not always there.

Be sure to investigate the varying product types. 

Not to say that you'd pick crappy materials, but contractors with experience have manufacturers and suppliers that they know guarantee their products and that helps them know they can stand behind their work.

Hello BP community,I recently became a landlord, quite by accident. 

This tactic is unlikely to be productive when there is a large delta in rate.

I had been under the impression that there are products out there where you can put 10-15% down to get in.

If you plan on buying these properties using a mortgage its also best to begin the pre approval process and work with an investor friendly lender to help guide and educate you what the best product might be for your projects to make sure you dont already max out your borrowing power after the first deal.
