No repairs (new paint, any sort of updates you want to do once you buy it, etc.)?

In search of good contractors for renovations on porches, patios, kitchen, bathroom, drywall, flooring, painting etc.

You can also read the fine print on the back of a bundle of shingles and it will spell everything out.Roofing, like laying tile or painting can be mind numbingly BORING, at least as far as the FIELD WORK goes.

He'd quote me $250 to paint the entire interior of a rental on turnovers.

I've been looking into Pierce and Snohomish counties for small MFR and SFR for cash flow deals.Besides what you mentioned for looking into AZ, what made you choose the Tucson market? 

Will it be life changing probably not but it will definitely help you save faster, give you extra discretionary spending and if you occupy it while renting out the other half (2 family situation) can give you a HUGE advantage allowing your tenant to pay 1/2 or even 3/4 of your mortgage payment (this is how I got started) over time this can really snowball into something big if you are diligent, patient and choose to keep going...regards,Chris  

Slow and steady wins the race.A lot of Californians choose to deploy their capital in these Linear/Cash Flow markets.

Hey everyone,I wanted to post and see if anyone who’s more experienced than myself can help me understand rough estimates for painting, drywall repairs and cleaning costs for a rental on the west side of Cleveland.To give some general information, there’s some dry wall cracks, painting of the entire interior which is 850 square feet and deep cleaning of the entire interior since the former tenants left behind a fair amount of food and broken furniture.

Investments you want FREEDOM to where the investment works for you around the clock while you get to mainly choose what life you want. 

That covers lost rent due to down time as I do repairs, paint, etc in between tenants.
