DIY A first-time DIYer can expect to spend several hours replacing a kitchen faucet.The time it takes depends on your experience and the faucet's complexity.You'll need tools like wrenches, a putty knife, and a small bucket.You'll also need materials like supply lines, silicone caulk, and plumbers tape.You may be tempted to be cheap and estimate only 30 minutes, but you should estimate an hour to be safe.What about the time to go to the property to figure out if a 2-hole or 3-hole faucet is needed, then drive to Home Depot to get it, drive back to install and then head either to the next job or back to the office?

GC's get paid off of the work, not a flat rate... but in your experience, would you say that window of rate is generally 10%-20% project depending, or more towards 15%-30%?

Really appreciate you sharing your experience, sounds like a solid deal with a great profit margin, especially considering you did 90% of the work yourself.

Are there other pathways I should consider, based on my goals and experience?

And in order to defer all tax you must purchase at least as much as the aggregate net sales price of your properties.These all can seem daunting but in my experience exchanges are more successful than not.

Actual experience I'll listen to.

@Walter PinedaEven if someone give you a referral, what meets their expectations, may not meet yours.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

We do this for brand new investors with no experience.

I would love to speak with people that have experience in the area.If one of your friends would like to talk to me and share some advices it would be great :) 

He abandoned trying to scale.Learning from this experience when my partner and I decided we wanted to double our net income, we realized it would take a increase of 2 1/2 time our volume and probably need to triple our deal flow.
