@Maxwell Kaplan if they are investor friendly and they answer the phone when you need them too they will probably be good.

Remember to add in admin cost on your end the more you buy. 

Trust me, if the installers went above and beyond, the customers never have a problem with answering a phone call from another future customer.

I have had several interesting conversations with:- other drivers on the importance of wearing seat belts- other contractors on the importance of being insured and bonded- other cheaters on the importance of keeping my phone away from my wife- etc.:)In case my sarcasm was not transparent - everything is optional until the stuff hits the fan.

Being succinct has never been my forte, as you all will come to learn.PS Does anyone know how to remove my phone number from my posts?

If you have a decent phone the property can be managed from anywhere in the world.

Some va"s do cold calls, some do admin, etc.

The only ones that are successful their first year are the ones that work long, hard hours pressing palms, kissing babies, driving all over God's green earth, answering phone calls at 11:30pm, writing emails at 4am, and generally working like their life depended on it.

Obviously this is still significant and I'd love to hear if anyone knows of expensive nuances around repairing and selling a flood house in Houston.Closing Costs - $6k Financing Costs - HML quote I received was 2 points, $500 admin fee and 1%/month. = $4800 points + $500+ $14,400 interest for 6 months = $19,700 - Is this math correct?

Are you willing to answer your cell phone at 11pm and show houses almost any time of day?
