I feel in my gut that most of the time that speaker has earned that reputation!

Consider the utilities to run the machines.As to the company, the one here is an old company and gaining a bad reputation for service, even for allowing machines to fill up with coins and then out of service!

So wrapping them in duct tape is not my optimal solution.I am willing to get a hepa mask and suit up and attempt to do the work myself but I am a littel hesitant as I have not dealt with this before and not even sure if I am legally allowed to.It is an unfinished basement that is empty except for the boiler and washer/dryer so maybe if I put plastic and seal off the entrance to upstairs wet the asbestos and remove/double bag it it is doable.

Is there any other reputable tax-lien company with lower fees?

-fixing up the property little by little to build up "pride of tenant ownership": if the property is updated and taken care of, tenants will be more reluctant to destroy/harm it.I was also thinking of installing a ANIMAL WASTE STATION with a sign, trash basket and plastic bags, however it's 300$, and we will not need it within a year.

Originally posted by Adam Craig:I am just a skeptic sales and guarantees until told or proven otherwise.What you say makes sense and I am defiantly going to look into it.I am with you 100%...I would think they key is to make sure you find a reputable company/person to buy from (I know...easier said than done)!

You don't want to get a bad reputation in the (very small) real estate community by being the type of investor that gets into contract and uses the inspection clause to back out of a lot of deals.

Developing a reputation for doing things the right way, will more than pay for itself in the long run.

Even hiring a PM, if you hire one with a bad reputation for maintenance might still leave Chris liable for hiring losers to manage the property owned by Chris's LLC?

If someone comes to me about using him, I'll typically handle the contracts and payment through my business...but I'll ultimately oversee his efforts and if there are any issues, the other person can come directly to me.Basically, I only get involved in I feel my reputation is on the line or if the work is complicated enough that having me involved will be a benefit.
