Next, we'll ask our property manager for their opinion on projected rents.

Hired a local contractor to walk the home and bid the entire project so I knew what I would spend before I bought.

As the Property Manager for a landlord, do you folks charge extra for any repair projects or maintenance calls that require on-site supervision and time spent above the normal call of duty to see the repair or maintenance through?

Essentially using the project itself as collateral.  

We don't want to tie up our ability to gets loans since we're trying to build our portfolio.So, I'm looking for advice on ways to fund this project.

I have 15 years experience as a Project Manager building Multi- Family projects anywhere from 9 unit town homes, 200 mid rise projects, to 400 unit Garden Style developments on previously undeveloped land.

Especially with the demolition of housing projects, you are very likely to find Section 8 tenants in many parts of the city, good and bad.

How have you set up pay and incentives with your go-to contractors so that they are incentivized to continue working on your projects and get them done timely and well? 

Part of the preparation is knowing the zoning, and what processes will be necessary to move the project forward. 

In other words I can head up the project, I just don't have the money.
