I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a rental and was wondering if I could go for a couple months with out one (3) or should I have one in place from the onset...the property has a stable tenant in place, I do have lawn care and a HVAC person.

I'm getting ready to write 1.3 million to the Irs.

Many times, they have not seen the property until their child is moving in, then they are upset if it isn’t perfect and move in ready. 

Now I am ready to sign on with a brokerage.

That depends....Do you want to sell it now to a qualified Buyer ready to Buy?

Obviously this will cost more than if you hired each trade yourself, bought materials yourself, handled inspections but you should be ready to pay the extra cost and watch everything closely so you can learn.Your question is very short so i can't tell if you have contractors you've talked to and can't decide who to hire, or if you don't know where to look.

At this stage, I'm not ready to buy.

It is time consuming, but pretty easy for a mason to do.

I have been studying for a year, and am finally ready to make my first Purchase on a home.

Cash offer got us to the front of the line, but would consume 75% of the money we have available for investment right now (still leaving enough for one mortgaged rental property).Question.
