Ask them to share their STR management VRBO, AIRBNB etc, and look at their costs.Use their vendors if they offer positive opportunities and use that as a way to ask for "Earn your Business' type discounts.

Before this, I’ve done six fix and rents in Providence acting as my own GC.I can’t imagine doing my project without a GC, unless I was paying a handyman or a real estate agent every time to go meet a vendor there.  

That's always a good place to look for contractors/vendors/engineers, etc. in KC: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bridgerealestatemeetup/

@Andy Ciordia.....its just as easy as "Hey do you offer any discounts since I have multiple properties that need work"As a person who does work in the Home Services Industry, it costs the vendor the same amount of time (most likely money too) do the work whether its 1 or 2 properties.

I would think vendors would be hard to come by?

I just went to the LA REIA Vendor Expo last week and it was great!

So Plastiq lets the customer pay the fee if the customer wants to pay with a CC and they send the vendor a paper check.

If you're going to sell the properties with or without rehab you'll want to have a robust CRM to manage your distressed homeowner/buyer/attorney/vendor lists.The advice from Bruce is solid...start slowly and you'll figure out exactly what you need as you proceed. 

Yes - all of the pass-through fees are utilized to needed vendors and included and balanced on the final settlement statement.

There is no reason to charge an owner for sending a work order to a vendor.
