I love my work as well and this has allowed me to buy in nice stable neighborhoods with quality tenants which makes property management interesting and enjoyable. 

They sometimes start out decent then quality of work goes down or prices go way up.I would welcome any referrals from people here who have good handymen /contractors that they can refer who have investor/rental/rehab level pricing.

One of the best ways to get some SEO traction is by writing high quality blog posts around a certain keyword you'd like to target.

They have unique topics and not a ton of cross over so you will learn different things and meet different people at both, but both are high quality.  

You will be amazed at the quality of people you will find there and the information that will be shared.

Show the tenants that you do intend to improve the quality of their building.

If this is a resale for max profit & will not be a rental, do you recommend a higher quality or just what looks new/good?  

Shoddy subcontractors, substituting poor quality materials, etc etc are commonplace.

Choosing a location is based on many factors (for me): proximity to where I live, my confidence in the cashflow, quality of the property (I stay away from fixer-uppers b/c those can suck up your time), and -- so long as I am confident that it will cashflow -- appreciation potential is a nice "icing on the cake". 

What is your approach to finding quality renters?
