A capex budget needs to include but not limited to: roof 25 year life span, floors 10 year life span, appliances and hot water heater 12 year life span, hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span.

My grandmother (86) is getting too frail to go up and down the stairs on a daily basis, so she just stays on the top floor and makes my mom weight on her up and down the stairs. 

Capital) items like roofs, HVACs, flooring, siding, etc. 

We added flooring, cleaned up, added windows, gutters, kitchen, bath, and we always do something a little bit over the top in the deign.

New kitchen, update bathroom, new floors, some exterior work, new water heater, and paint.

I suspect the culture in Ohio will be similar.For "systems" I'd say to make a standard packet of info that has a sample lease, floor plan with square footage, list of "features" like what appliances are there or if there are storm doors, etc., an introduction letter, and an application. 

I have a 4 plex that has needed the main first floor drain professionally augered/cleaned out twice in the last 12 months. 

The layout is:1st floor: (two) 2 bed 1 bath2nd floor: (two) 2 bed 1 bathTop floor: (one) 2 bed 1 bath “attic” w/ low ceilingsTrouble is, the building must be converted to a legal 4-family since 5 is commercial and does not qualify for my mortgage. 

Are you using a phone line, the Broker's desk and floor space, the web site, signs, etc.?

I stick to tasks I am allowed to do (patch drywall, paint, replace fixtures, flooring, tile, and cabinets) and hire licensed contractors to do the rest.I've noticed only 1 out of 6 licensed contractors I've hired in the past (HVAC / plumber / electrician / roofers) actually pull a building permit for the work they've been hired to do.
