Phx has a lot of new builds and cookie cutters homes, if a model match sold quickly then I have pretty good idea what my home will sell for.

Biggest fair is not finding buyers if I did a wholesale etc.I know there's no cookie cutter how to, but I would like to find something that walks you through from A-Z on deals that don't leave out the meat of the subject just to get you to spend $$$ on some course or bootcamp.

My agent won't even work with them based on bad experiences, bid-rigging, faulty listings and cheating BPO and R.E.A.s out of their commissions and other earned pay.They are in India and cannot speak or understand English.

The cpvc shut off valves are really cheap I bought they online for 1.50 each. which is a big savings over the sharkbite/pex valves which are 5.5-6$ cpvc is easy to work with too you dont need the ring tool just a pipe cutter and glue.

The best thing I ever did was hire it out.Before I did that the best thing was having the right tools.If you plan to do a lot of this you can buy a laser, a ridgid 10" wet saw, an angle grinder with a sharp diamond blade, and a standard tile cutter in the $200-$600 range with a sharp wheel.You want to lay all of your full tiles first and then come back for your cuts.

We do have our problems in Texas, but Texas is a lot more than cowboy hats and oil rigs today.

@Aaron McGinnis here on BP does a lot of higher-end rehabs in Atlanta, but he tends to focus on the BIG projects (knock 'em down and rebuild them twice as big); seeing how much work he puts into the architecture, design, trim detail and other finishing details is amazing, and makes me realize how much more work goes into a high-end renovation than a cookie-cutter "first-time homebuyer renovation".

Yes them being responsible for ANYTHING can be scary.I do not like the lease where they are responsible for first 50 dollars etc.As stated they never fix anything or report it and it gets worse.I also do not like them to change light bulbs.I have seen them mess up cord chains on ceiling fans,drop the globes and break the lights,take lights out of 4 unit in bathroom and put in another place and only have one bulb left in bathroom so they don't have to buy more,try to use wrong size bulb that reams out the fixture or causes an ark,mess up the outside lighting and rim out the casing that holds the unit to the wall etc.I have about seen it all.We get the extended life lights so we have less maintenance calls and the tenants like it because it cuts down on their power bills.You can find them on sale as nobody buys them because of price.We find them on sale at Home Depot for half off and stock up.Same thing with washer and dryer.They install improperly and water comes down into the ceiling when running.Also they don't call if toilet is running from tank to bowl as they are afraid only 25 dollars to replace so they would have to pay.Instead I tell them we will take care of it and to call us.We build a rep as a landlord not out to rip them off and we take care of them.We also screen tenants heavily to keep out the bad element.If I made them fix it they would rig it plus since I pay water with one line going to the building by them not reporting my water might be 50 dollars more for that unit that month.I have seen tenants take off smoke detector and use it for ash tray,take a piece of plastic from a bag and connect it for the pull chain when the rubber one broke on the toilet etc.So my experience with many tenants is you DO NOT leave it up to them.It costs more money and I end up fixing it anyways.I think the big distinction here is some investors on here might own a house they are renting out which will be different on many levels from an apartment complex.Someone that owned a home and is now renting might take better care of it versus someone that lived with another person and now wants to rent an apartment.With my 20 unit I have a repair guy on site.Now I don't let tenants give me a list of demands.If the fridge is old but working,stove,stove hood,or a part goes out we replace the old part to fix.We DO NOT meet cosmetic demands from the tenant.They have to pay and do that themselves if they want a plusher carpet,designer paint etc.

Need more info on how that has worked out since everybody's got a new-scam-a-minute to bid bid-rig.

Hi everyone, I hope this is the right sub forum for this.I'll be showing the two spare rooms in my house to a few possible tenants next weekend and just have a few questions about using MySmartMove (MSM).I have the cookie cutter rental application I got from the local apartment association here in L.A. that requests Driver Lic, SSN, Addresses, Employment, Banking, Credit References, etc.It is my understanding that a major benefit for the renter using MSM is not having to disclose this information to me and do it all online through TransUnion.
