They’re often well-connected to contractors and property managers who know the drill for moderate rehabs in that area.

Rooming houses dwindled in numbers, and zoning regulations took out the rest.Now apartments in popular suburbs are as expensive as in center cities, and for people of even moderate means their own apartment or house may not be realistic financially.

We are only very moderately leveraged, but I am in no rush to change that and rather use the cash flow to re-invest either into upgrades (we are doing a ton of driveways this year) or more RE.I don't think there is a right or wrong way, like you said there are many different ways, I just find myself adjusting every year a bit more in that direction.

Kinda think this is an ad and should be under the Classifieds forum.Let's see what the Moderators say...

Moderator, we have no financial relationship with any guru :B ] after we canceled promptly there were no additional billings either time.

Moderators have no clear guidance on when to suspend or ban someone.

Rent growth has flatlined and will probably only moderately increase over the next 12 months so it really comes down to NOI growth from renovations and whether it will outpace the 3-4% negative return on cost that the properties are currently seeing.

The 1st job Id expect 2 guys to finish it in one day, so 16-18 man hours...so I wouldnt say their time billing is drastically high, but a a moderate amount.

Focus on small multifamily properties with moderate rehab potential.
