There are openings in the upper west exterior walls where electrical conduit was removed.10.The stucco in these areas has not been repaired to prevent moisture penetration and deterioration.11.The front unit has issues flushing the toilet, which was confirmed with a tenant, so camera scoping of the drain pipes was performed that revealed damages and blockages in the pipes.12.Deferred maintenance on multiple items: cracks around windows and pipes, gas pipes are not supported, pilot lights in heater units were not lit, a water heater unit has no ventilation.I hired a plumber to scope the pipes (please see his report in the invoice attached and photos); a roofing company was hired to assess the damage to the roof above the middle unit only (please see proposed work sheet); a general contractor has inspected the settlement of the wall in the second unit due to the damaged frame.

They are all top notch professionals who are active on BiggerPockets.Best of luck to you on your path to continued real estate investing success!

Look at the managers for both sectors; look at the amount of work that you will be doing- pick the option that allows you to learn as much as possible and develop your skills as a real estate professional (the job/manager that is fun might not be the best for you to grow).
