I totally agree.

Two quick examples:Changing a toiletLabor = Assume 3 hours at $50/hr = $150Material (wide range, assume something cost effective) = $150This looks like a $300 job and a 50-50 split in labor/material Painting the interiorMaterials = $500Labor = crew of 4 x 8 hrs x $30/hr =960 (Assume 1,000)Total cost  = $1,500 (Material 33%, Labor 66%)In general, I agree with adding incentives in order to complete the work. 

I'm a mechanical engineer by day, so this is a totally new world for me.Anyone else have experience in Weber County and the surrounding areas?

Say you have a toilet problem or a simple fix. you would have to drive 4 hours total to maybe fix a 15 minute job.

Since you have already identified your niche, the best bet would be to 1) educate yourself via books and podacts2) network with like-minded investors via REI clubs and events.

Asking a fellow RE attorney would be your best bet.

If the contract has a max of 2 people per bedroom, and home has 3 rooms, that means that there’s a maximum total of 6 people living in the home .

We've been on the market since early Spring and despite significant price drops ($500k in total reductions), we're running out of runway before the loan maturates and funds on hand are depleted. 

This is a form that you create yourself that just says your not renewing the lease. 1) 6/5/2018 filed a form called "unlawful detainer" ($220 filing fee + $50 misc fees, $270 total) with Court.

I bet my shady self-encumbrance gets bounced, but that's ok.
