Hello, I’m reaching apps to use to manage an investment property.

Any advice on how to source reputable contractors in a specific area?

This market has its ups and downs.

do you have ways to source off market deals?  

There is no loss of use.

Any advise about how to handle this situation?  

This is an excellent platform for networking and enhancing your knowledge.

I do give tenants discounts for yard work or snow shoveling, but I keep it less than what I would pay a company to do the work.As for raising the rent, use the binder method.

@Hersh Shah I ran into this post and thought of you.

Also understanding how things are put together, how siding works, gutters, etc (basically as many aspects of the home as possible)Having this knowledge will also help you from getting burned by contractors telling you things just so they can save time and money and deliver a crappy service.
