Raymond,Welcome to the forum and feel free to email me or reach out this week. 

In my opinion, this is much more effective than texting, which often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.

This includes notification or requests for repairs.

Most were born into this and didn’t know any other way.

I want to throw my 2 cents in on  this.

Any insight on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

The place could also survive on LT rent or seasonal rental, which is popular in this quaint village on the water for Summer and shoulder seasons.It's one of those two-story old 1890 brick buildings.

This home had a HUGE delay that cost us thousands of dollars.The group that put in the underground plumbing dug the plumbing too low, and by the time we caught the mistake, the slab had already been poured and the septic tanks installed.We had to dig up the septic tanks, install a lift station, and reinstall the septic tanks.This all happened during 2 hurricanes, which caused even more delays.Time kills deals.This is why you need to 1) be conservative with your timelines and costs, 2) add contingencies to your budgets, and 3) have a healthy profit margin.

Our strategy is to find properties in the Germantown, Logan and Olney areas of Philadelphia that need renovation, with the goal of holding and renting them out long-term.We’re currently looking to connect with experienced contractors who can help us accurately price out repairs and renovation costs for potential properties.
