Lawyers may suffer from the same problem, if they are too busy dealing with their clients’ legal affairs to address their own.

I like to get a new lease written up, with modified dates, new rent amounts and increase to security deposit (in my state it is allowed to keep up with rent for a certain number of years).Some related threads:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/53149-do-you-notify-your-tenants-when-their-rental-contract-is-expiring-http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/77245-best-method-of-renewing-leaseshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/67263-tenant-wont-sign-new-lease-but-is-still-sending-payment-what-to-dohttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/76856-12-month-lease-to-month-to-monthhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/77470-what-kind-of-incentives-do-you-have-to-retain-tenantshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/72506-lease-renewaladvice-neededhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/69935-most-ethical-way-to-not-renew-a-month-to-month-lease-when-the-tenants-have-perfect-track-recordshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/75734-do-i-need-to-send-notice-at-end-of-lease-for-vacatinghttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/81/topics/52826-lease-ending

If I consistently added rehabbing or any other similar business to what I do, then my wholesaling business would suffer.

Now technically I cant put these properties as my comps since they wont have the same features as a 1950 property.

Some people are tied to a geographic area and wont leave and that can be a problem.

I wont go back to paying those prices.

If you only have one unit the headache of dealing with it wont be worth it from a distance.

I wont know for sure until everything has an organized structure.

Hi George,Before I answer, I'll tell you I have 15 years, 100+ new construction homes experience.My first suggestion is to be clear about the fact you want detailed bids, this will save you time by weeding out the contractors that can't/wont give you what you want.

By "format" i mean, some of my buyers are tech savvy and like email, some buyers may just want a quick text, and others wont respond to anything but a phone call.So be flexible, and start building relationships.
