I knew this day was coming , I was always on pins and needles  with this well , BUT luckly it went dry when there were NO tenants there .  

I had hoped to wait a few months, but they are now a priority.The finish is looking great - a couple more days while it dries and more coats are put down. 

I'm curious if I need a GC or if I should split everything out – which would be a lot more to manage.Here's what I'm looking to do:Patch and painReplace carpet with more durable flooringInstall bathroom fanFix small amount of dry rot on exterior railingRemove mini-blinds and install more durable window coveringsReplace living room light fixtureI know that some of these (4,5,6) could probably be handled by a handyman but I'm looking for the best approach overall.

It's not cut and dry on whether or not to become an agent before an investor. 

Property is in need of new carpeting and dry wall in a few rooms, and some work in the bathroom. 

That drives traffic to the shopping center which then creates the opportunity for other ancillary stores and services like dress shop, women’s shoes, dry cleaners, coffee shop, etc. 

The seller is asking 375k but the property has an estimated 46k in termite and dry rot remediation. 

In one room, I found a pool of dried blood. 

My hair is long againIt’s so bad for me when I climb on roofAnd clean gutters On my own house mind youThe neighbors call police andSay homeless man on roof 

Very entertaining....But I must be the only investor that cringed at some of the things being said...The idea of justifying bad loan terms because they can refinance 12 months from now sounds dangerously like 2008...What happens if there is a downward turn in the market and the equity dries up?
