It can get complicated depending on the language in your lease and the time frame you are working with.

Celso Balan depending on the size of the job, you can look at sites like Homeadvisor, Anglieslist, Thumbtack, etc where you will find contractors with ratings.

@Rob Terpilowski when you get potential contractors involved would depend on how set you are on the deal and how certain you think you can make the numbers work, I would think.  

Depends on the numbers.  

After that I'd just go with either annual or monthly depending on if you know you'll need to use it for an entire year, because it does offer a discount by going annual.

If it helps, the principal balance will be $80,000 with an interest only rate of 6% for one year (or less, depending on the family matter). 

You should be able to get $2,500 / mo. in rents or more just depending on the units amenities and sizes.I have been battling rats at my house since I moved in a year ago and I just buy the TomKat bait boxes at Home Depot.

welcome to BP @Michael ChuaEverything depends on the numbers and your preference.

It definitely does depend on the areas you're in.

In house is cheaper but takes a lot of time to put together so depending on what value you put on your time- may be worth having a third party do it.
