My wife and I own a multi unit building in Chicago and are in need of building maintenance for the roof and siding.The main issue is our building is close to the neighbor’s house.

Once you find good crew, everything becomes under control.You not only need cleaning people, also maintenance guy stand-by? 

Other expenses include vacancy, maintenance, cap expense, and miscellaneous expenses.Turnkey OOS that actually provides $300 to $400 monthly cash flow after all expenses is not an easy find. 

Taxes, insurance, maintenance costs, and everything else goes up almost every year."

Arch degree, 8 years of digital fabrication experience, and two of my own multi-family projects in Cinci.My number two is head of maintenance for a University.Depending on what you need done I can bring along a group for labor.Demo, layout drawings, design, kitchen, bath, walls, exterior, decks, concrete, electrical...So, if that sounds about right we can carry on with a PM and or meet up.For me this would be a short-term experiment to see if I want to do more of this for others or just keep it in-house.

Even if it is real they are going to be VERY high maintenance, message several times a day because they can't understand that some things in your house are different than things in their house and they will probably stick you with a bad review. 

Additionally, I'd increase your Vacancy to 8% so that you are saving up aproximately one month of rent per year (1/12 = 8.333%) and I'd defintily increase your CapX to 10% as CapX is for major repairs and since this property was built in 1984 I'm assuming it will have some maintenance needs sooner rather than later.

. $75-$80/sf overseas (high quality)-loan service costs are cheaper in US vs overseas…-reselling in US is much easier vs overseas-maintenance people, managers and operation costs are way lower for option 2I know that these are very broad different scenarios with a lot of variables…however I am trying to see if I can get some feedback.

Easy to manage, less maintenance.

The rent I collected during my approximate 14 months of ownership basically covered the rehab and other minor maintenance things I had come up.
