I'm willing to bet that your flooring contractor is charging per sq. foot which means he makes more money by doing it the easy way.I'll be doing a flooring job soon and the only place I will be putting the flooring underneath anything is in the bathroom where it will go under the toilet and vanity only because it would be virtually impossible to install the vinyl planks in the small spaces between them and the walls and the tub. 

One podcast recently i listened to mentioned that he self manages all his properties to save on the PM fees, but he has some sort of policy with the local utilities that basically gives his tenants a 24hr number to call if something was to happen to say a frig or hvac... he even mentioned it covered a clogged toilet..I am curious what exactly is this such policy he is talking about, because the way he worded it, it sounded like he took most of the headache out of the job with this and he just worries about getting new tenants and collecting rent... he said the policy was cheaper than just keeping a handyman on call to do the repairs.. 

They don't have to fix the toilet, mow the lawn, and if their job moves, they can move too without worry.Second thing, as to the education of economic benefits; well again, that's nationwide, and not just in RE.

In the bathrooms, I stand right next to the toilet to feel if there's any sponginess to the floor.

Low flow toilets, sink, showers 2.

You could take your $100k at 4% from the bank and hypothecate it and invest it in a performing note and get 10% - and do not have to deal with tenants, toilets and termites etc.

We got the inspection back today; the issues are as follows: mold beyond the surface mold we originally noticed when checking the house out, wood rot in left side floor, damaged roof joist, poor ventilation in the attic and mold, many of the chimney bricks are loose, standing water in crawlspace--potential mold, leaking shower and toilet leading to damaged floor/ceiling underneath, plumbing material issues, electrical not all properly grounded. 

@Katie Huynh That is the initial repairs bus you will have on going repairs like a toilet leaking etc.

@Richard G.Neither.Being an agent doesn't teach you how to be an investor.Property managers deal mostly with clogged toilets and dryer vent cleanings.
