I knew the prior owners were having to pound on doors to collect rents and we're just not going to do that.

Noted your options.I have someone deliver it, tape it to the door, have them take a picture of it on the door, send me a copy for in case I need evidence.

With the lawn you can pay professionals, pay a teenager, do or yourself, or limit tenants to those willing to do the work.

You can have something built to code but not permitted, while something that's permitted is automatically built to code.In my area, the city requires a permit for any work on a house that exceeds $500 - i.e. it's mainly there to make money for the broke municipality - including paint, tile, flooring, any concrete work, door and window replacement, you name it.

v=D1R-jKKp3NAhaving been on the hiring side of a corporate desk for some time, i'd encourage you to work for a few years before getting an MBA ... an MBA will get you in the door, but doesn't equal easy street...nor is it the panacea.

Daniel,Your numbers above are correct and to see essentially $100 per door is encouraging.

Wayne, I have actually had agents just give me the code before, but I understand it is not ethical, maybe even illegal, for them to do so as what happens if you are injured on the property or leave a door unlocked and damage occurs as a result?

On my own house I removed the gutters except for above the front door, but we have very sandy soil so drainage is not an issue.

If all these units needed was carpet and paints and a few fixtures and other items then 3,000 a door might be reasonable.If it's a gut job on the units plan on 11,000 to 13,000 a door for stud up rehab.With you Clara all the way in Singapore I do not know how you could attempt to take on a rehab of this level.

What wall/trim paints, door hardware, fixtures, colors, etc would best fit that description?
