Effective troubleshooting over the phone can be hugely helpful to this to avoid having to dispatch over something that the tenant can be easily walked through.

Always good to have a professional review any contract you enter into and advocate for your interests.

@Ellie Narie - everyone is trying to speculate on covid19 housing effects.

This implies I have always advocated having reserves to handle this situation.  

How will this effect sub contractors and the smaller scale general contractors? 

Hey guys, for those of you who have experience in virtual wholesaling (either being the remote wholesaler or as a partner to a remote wholesaler), what methods have you found most effective for evaluating properties?

And if you can eventually proceed, you could retain that architect to be your “professional building advocate” to protect you from all the massively shady things that have become the new norm in the residential construction contracting market, from bait and switch low-ball initial contract pricing (which then explodes using the old “change order” routine) to the contractor simply not installing what you paid for, especially in the places you can’t see. 

If they advocated for anything less than 3-6 months in reserves then they were being negligent (whether practitioners followed the advice or not is a whole other issue).

The effect of doing this will vary by jurisdiction, and may not be allowed in some areas.

I'm wondering how this will effect people who are doing this on a bigger scale:@Lucas Carl@Michael Greenberg@Tim Schroeder@john underwood
