We don't want cheap quality finishes but we don't need $400 a square foot finishes either. 

We allow pets in our rentals and it sometimes actually helps retain good tenants because many landlords don't allow pets so if you have a quality tenant with a pet, they are hyper vigilant because they know how hard it will be to find an alternative.

The most reasonable thing I see is $485 labor for 11 windows but I would be worried about the quality for that price.

Pay for high quality HD photographs.

I learned to invest in great appreciating areas that have high quality tenants.

@Chasen Brown, You can for sure piece together a property management company but it is a lot of work quality control checking everything.

Also, you’ll need to keep all of the sellers current financial situation in mind like outstanding loan, etc so that it makes sense for them and they don’t need the full lump sum balance. 

If you can upgrade the quality of the property then this may also help avoid this situation.

One of biggest problems facing developers and investors is the lack of quality labor available.

Does anybody have a philosophy of putting higher quality blinds that actually block most of the light out in their B and C grade units to prevent tenants from wanting to put up additional window dressings?
