My name is Anthony (Tony) Jenkins and I am a professional painter who has 20 years experience in various types of rehabs including residential and business properties.My interest in BiggerPockets is to learn more about the investing aspect of real estate and then take the plunge.I look forward to networking with all the gurus out there.Thanks.

Of almost 400 properties that we manage, our average tenancy is almost 4 years, our days on the market are considerably less than most of our competitors, and our average annual maintenance on our homes (including inspections and preventative maintenance) is less than $900/year... that includes all the major maintenance as well (roofs, furnaces, plumbing issues, etc.)It seems that many investors consider property management as just a convenience, but I think that it is much more than that.

It is a turnkey place in a University Neighborhood, in fairly good condition with appliances about a decade old and a good structure, newer roof and windows.  

Approach it purely from the aspect of trying to protect the assets and common areas that everyone has ownership of. 

I'm trying to learn as much as I can about all aspects of real estate investing and BiggerPockets has been a big help thus far. 

It looks good if the repairs are minimal and she has not delayed a lot of maintenance (hvac,  roof,  water heater,  etc) 

Your other interest will guide you to the intangible aspects of investing. 

I will continue to handle all other aspects of management.

It is a good community to network and learn about all aspects of real-estate investing.
