I deal with the monstrosity known as the NYC building of department as well as smaller municipalities like in my hometown of Yonkers and there is a wide variation on the time involved and what they require.

You really don't have to trust people much, it helps, but trusting math is far more efficient.What are the numbers of the deal and how do they fit into your overall strategy?

Ironically, we didn't buy this SFH with investing in mind, it has just worked out in our favor.As I have been coming to terms with selling being a very viable option, I have reminded myself that though we are holding it, and it does cash flow, it doesn't necessarily fit our 'model'I have spoken with my realtor and we are meeting on Friday to build a strategy and get it listed.Trying to 'lean in' to this one and stay focused on our 'why'

Multiple subcontractors would be involved. 

Sometimes it gets people off their bark-a-lounger and involved but many times people spend the money only to find out they need one on one help through a couple of transactions to have the knowledge and confidence to actually be successful.

It’s a good property but just doesn’t fit with my personal goals right now.

@Christy Miller,She seems really unhappy and that it's not a good fit.   

They many come across something that doesn't fit their investment criteria but will work for you. 

For me, investor profil has to fit the risk/reward ratios of the deal (Be clear with him, if this is a value add deal, stabilized asset etc...

LolI’m looking to be more involved here on the forums to learn from people with more experience than I have.
