So i hired a property management company to take over while I moved away. the tenant moved in in May. my first repair bill was for $447.02 the next bill was for $734.32 that was for home depot to pay for the first repair bill. found out that the 442.02 was for labor only.

Hey guys!

What book suggestions do you have on home improvement/DIY rehab?

Thanks!

You would have cleaning, repairs, restocking and policing to do every day. 

(assuming its a quality place) This is the only area I would consider renting in the upper middle class price range and feel comfortable.

I haven’t seen the property yet so I don’t have a full gauge on repair expenses needed. 

The cost of the repair is$27K and don't want a pool either. 

You should continue inspecting regularly (3-6 months depending on quality of units and tenants).

- Are you seeing a lot of homes that were flooded be vacated or are a lot of homeowners/renters repairing?
