I am no expert in rehabbing and would need to outsource many aspects.Here's a list of all the things I can think of from the top of my head:1 Front Porch Complete rebuild2 Top Porch3 Siding around entire house4 Paint around entire house (exterior) I'll do interior myself5 Electrical Work6 The back structure that appears to be "stuck onto" the house I would want knocked down and a garage added in the back.7 Surely a handful of interior walls knocked down (it appears to me the house may have been set-up as a duplex previously8 Probably dry-wall work in nearly every room9 I could actually probably repair the hardwood floors and lay tiles myself10 I also could do most bathroom renovations myself and kitchen renovations 11 I'm going to make the assumption this house needs roofing, electrical and plumbing work, which I know can have a lot of variance but perhaps someone can provide me with a range?

If it's a dry well, your investment is lost, and your tax break is a lousy "reward" for that.Also, some of these partnerships are run by inexperienced or crooked people.

Typically they will need to schedule a move out inspection with you, and know that they need to have all personal property removed, tenant damages repaired, thoroughly clean the entire unit, all fixtures, windows, screens; carpets need to be professionally cleaned (and allowed at least a full day to dry before the inspection), and how they are expected to handle their rubbish.

Even Salisbury and Statesville are drying up.

If any of the three are missing, you need a manager to realize the property’s potential.It’s not unlike any other DIY endeavor:  You can save a bundle doing your own nails, coloring your own hair, mowing your lawn, changing your car oil, and ironing all of your apparel.Most of our clients would rather watch paint dry than manage a rental.  

A wash and a dry is about $4 total.
