I need someone to come out by Monday night at the latest because I'm in contract to buy the house and I need to get back to the seller"..Tony , when you say this to a contractor , its like saying  , Will you rush to come out and waste your time looking at a house I might  buy , and maybe I will hire you to do the work .

Depends on what rental property you buy.Depends on whether you self manage or hire a property manager.If its a SFH manager by a PM it could be totally hands off for you.

If one of my PMs goes bad, I fire them and hire another.

I own a property in Boston and wanted to know how landlords hire contractors for snow shovelling to comply with city ordinances.  

My background is in corporate finance and I moved to Washington 5 years ago from Hawaii after getting hired at a company here.

Traditionally I've been big into stocks and other more liquid assets, but a couple years ago I hired a guy who was a former house-flipper.

Please call your Representative and ask them to support HR 5667 https://washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/113_HR_5667.html Find your rep here: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/ It's best to call your rep.

The process involves hiring an architect for plan submissions to the board.  

That would probably help you cash flow as well... but I would still try to avoid levering up the main practice.One other thought would be that if you do acquire the mixed use property I would hire a property manager to run the mixed use building to witch your dental practice would pay rent just like the other tenants.

For example, when you hire a GC there's a legal document for that or if you hire an employee there's a document for that.
