Powder coat that is baked on would be the best,but lets get realistic on what you will actually do.

We don't charge extra for different days, we have a flat rate all year long.I just don't spend time worrying about it. 

Maybe some energetic person with no cash can find the deals for a cut of the profit or a flat fee upfront?

If it is a flat rate every month I would pay it.  

Last Thursday I closed on my first property, it will be an owner occupied two flat in Chicago.I am a little early on this as the anticipated end of rehab will be around May / June but I wanted to get a jump on this and ask if anyone knows of lenders who will do an 80% LTV loan on a primary residence two flat.

Like the title says, roof is flat TPO style with no crawl/attic.

The slab flatness is great but I’ve got a major banana bow (1”) in the joisted section along with about an inch to makeup where it transitions.

The 2000 mile away option does have some baked in disadvantages.

Your payment and expenses are:Mortgage: $1,480PMI: $0Taxes: $330Insurance: $120Vacancy, Repairs, Capex, Management: $1,100 (flat $500 + $300 per unit)Total: $3,030Income:Rent: $3,800 ($1,900 per unit)Total Income: $3,800Monthly Cash Flow:$770Annualized Cash-on-Cash return:11%Leftover cash:$0Scenario 2:You put 3.5% down on a triplex that costs $550k.

Lets say I turn it over to a good PM that charges a flat 99/mo now Im down to 100/mo in cash flow or 1200/yr.
