I mean with the right property this should not be an impossible task.

(Note: I should have done a second lien on the property between Justin, Amber, and I for the $4,000 plus interest that I borrowed...but I didn't because we were what I thought at the time, friends) Now fast-forward to November 2019, the house has been completely rehabbed ( new roof, Windows, siding, flooring, doors, HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing ... basically the whole nine yards at a budget that no other contractor in their right mind would have ever remotely considered)  and my realtor performs a new CMA which brought to light a new comp that  brings up our ARV to a new listing price of $54,900!

Unless you are just looking to park cash into an real asset, something that has more palpable value than paper (money or stock), and better than hiding it under the mattress, but without considering performance as an investment.

Some buyers are getting smarter about looking to see if permits were pulled and closed for work performed, but a lot aren't so it is a gamble at sale.

I would figure all the bookkeeping, phone calls, coordination, etc. wouldn't need to have a license to perform those acts and you could just sign a contract per say with the owner saying I'll provide X services at X fee that I bill you for every month.I even considered going underneath someone else's broker license and just build up from there but the fact that they are going to take a big percentage of my already small percentage off rent just irks me when I'm willing to just build off my systems that I have already built/tested. 

You'll have an asset manager/s with nearly inexhaustible resources to run the business plan and keep an eye on key performance and economic metrics that would indicate the necessity to execute a contingency in the business plan. 

I've been working with my handyman for several years now and would like him to not only do a good portion of the reno, but oversee the other contracts for tasks he doesn't do.

@Justin Wawrzyniak the easiest and most effective way to manage your rentals like a pro is to start using a property management software that will automate most of your tasks. 

Let's call that my "actual proforma" (which sounds like an oxymoron but it's basically a projection of what my actual building's financial performance will be).Thanks for chiming in.
