There can be multiple advantages to using 2 separate pm's.

Do you get multiple bids?

Plenty of other opportunities elsewhere, my clients are involved in institutional grade properties across the country.

For example, water heater install and there is no shut-off valve before the heater it cost $150 for a $20 part with 15 min of install.The challenge with doing a project (one that involves more than one trade-like kitchen or bathroom update) is there are usually holes in between what each contractor does and filling those holes is challenging.

I have been doing some education regarding the REI thru multiple books but still there are some gaps on understanding the numbers, property valuation etc. which i believe doesn't make sense until i actually make a deal work.

This will involve actually knowing the city, or driving around those parts of town to become comfortable.3) Determine your holding period - if you want some quick equity, you can buy a place with some value add opportunities.

I'm looking to get a better broad picture of what is involved with being a landlord, and would obviously also like to pick your brain about the process and lessons you've learned.

Great source of educating yourself on whatever niche you want to get involved with--especially wholesaling.

See what will make the deal sweet for everyone involved.
