Paying the subcontractors means you are hiring them.

If they aren't asking to be added to your policy or aren't adding you to their master policy, then that means they have zero liability coverage.What kind of incompetent PMCs are you hiring, that don't know enough to make sure they have liabiity coverage?

Since they all follow the same guidelines, and it was an unbiased 3rd party, there is significantly higher chance your refi numbers will come out closer to what was expected than just trusting Realtor opinions (after all - banks don't hire them for an unbiased evaluation of homes prior to lending). 

The scale of commercial real estate enables us to hire people to be boots on the ground and handle the day to day.

I have no idea if our HOA funds pay his lawyer, if he pays himself to plow our road (they refuse to hire anyone to maintain it, he does it just fine himself), there are serious drainage issues that won't be addressed, and a litany of other questions that should be answered before forcing a vote.I have yet to move into my house but it seems all of these sudden changes have to do with the Presidents hatred for one family that owns multiple lots (all new covenants and bylaws are aimed at one family, the president even held a secret zoom meeting with us and another new family to steer our vote the way he would like AND mildly trash talk one specific family).Isn't there a law in Indiana to protect homeowners from being forced to vote on such a major decision without providing adequate resources for us to determine if this is right for the community?

I would love to talk with someone who has hired property management teams to take care of their large multifamily assets.

Remember you are hiring an architect not a drafter.

By whom - property management, realtor, hiring a local independent investor, another investor/wholesaler that specifically works with long distance BRRRR buyers?

@Patrick Menefee it’s touch on those situations, but here are a few suggestions;Cameras as you have stated, security company, guard dogs (there are companies that do this for hire), give a cop free rent for one of the units while under rehab, let one of the contractors stay while rehab is being performed. 

Consult your local planning board and hire an engineer.
