Setting up a team (cleaning crew, handymen) early on will help you balance your workload and minimize stress.

That was cleaned up.

For example, on what I thought was a relatively simple project in a bathroom reno which was fully gutted down to the studs already, I had more than one quote for over $7k to run pex supply lines and rough in a shower drain and toilet drain off of an existing main stack, all of which ended up costing me about $200 in pex lines, PVC fittings, and sawzall blades.If you need any hardwood flooring repaired, patched, or refinished, you can't beat Dave's Hardwood Flooring out of Blaine - $3k spent with them fully brought one of my duplex unit's original 100+ year old maple floors back to life.If you're putting in any stone counters in your kitchens or for bathroom vanities, Twin City Discount Granite have been awesome to work with, and consistently have the best pricing I've found in the area on fully installed granite and quartz.I also have a great drywall guy, as well as a really good carpet install guy - feel free to DM me if you want either of their contact info!

I’m fairly new to the self-managing/property management business and certainly new to dealing with section 8 tenants.I have a potential section 8 tenant who has inquired about one of my properties and they are in their opinion “disgusted” with the way the carpet looks however up until this point in my efforts of marketing the property I have not had one complaint concerning the carpet.That being said she has requested to rip out the carpet, in turn to replace the carpet with hardwood floors. 

Last month, while someone was cleaning out our property in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood, the place was broken into.

The Town must be notified within 24 hours of any change in contact information.”Question --> If we work with a local cleaning person who can act as the point of contact for the Town and be responsible for maintaining the house, would I still need to contract with a management company?

Every turnover will cost you money due to vacancy, Plus you run the risk of additional losses from unpaid rent, cleaning, and repairs.

The home was a big interior and exterior clean up with minor construction.

We've seen it happen as we've been hired many times to clean up messes and finish projects.
