I do almost all of my maintenance and what I don't do I have long-term business partners handle according to my specifications -- lasting fixes when necessary, high-quality paint that can be touched up repeatedly, Whirlpool appliances, hardwood and tile I do myself.I am on the electrical board and the outlets, I am on the roof, I am inspecting the windows, I am on the gutters all the time, I am liberal with the weedkiller concentrate, saving myself money in the long run wherever I can.What happens when you're extended from here to eternity with 75 SFR and three furnaces die in the first heavy cold snap?

I would almost always say no, but govt jobs are so reliable, I’d consider it (especially if no other quality applicants right away).

Choosing finishes, flooring and major mechanicals that are quality and long lasting will save you money and headaches over your ownership period. 

Just to be clear - my goal is not to save money if quality and liability would be compromised.

I've seen too many people who appear healthy, working their tails off and then they deteriorate way too young and never get to even enjoy "retirement age" (regardless of whether they actually retire or not).Based on what I've read here (on BP forums) and after speaking to family/friends we decided to grow our investment portfolio further.

I believe we may be speaking about two different products.

I really appreciate the article, those are certainly qualities that I am looking for in a real estate agent.

I saw you pm'ed me, we can set up a time to speak that works on your end.  

Do you have any recommendations for high quality PM in Indy?

@Omari Heflin If you haven't done so yet, build your team before speaking with commercial brokers.
