I have to replace a concrete porch and a small section of driveway for a Garden City house.

This site is wonderful for networking, contacts and gaining good sound information.

Hello,I need the following work done to my house, which is located Intown, to get it rent ready:- New roof installed- Tree cut down, basic landscaping and exterior fence repaired or replaced- Rent ready finishes - new kitchen cabinets, new doors, fresh paint, refinished hardwood floorsThis might be too small for a GC that is used to larger projects, but the roof is something that I would assume I should not be leaving to most handymen.

Sounds like they are selling on land value for redevelopment and not existing income.If they are making money and the area is improving they can wait for surrounding development demand to increase the dirt value for resale.If the owner is worth a lot of money they are taking the long view to value.

Thank you Douglas Skipworth That event coming up sounds like and excellent idea to network.

They may never reach it or they may go over 50% take your pick.What will it cost to replace your roof in 25 years or what will your rent levels be at.

Plumbers have equipment that is much more heavy-duty than what we own ourselves and are experts in rooting out plumbing lines and ensuring drains flow freely.Electrician - While we do quite a bit of electrical work ourselves, it is important to have an electrician available for more complex work, such as upgrading an electrical box or replacing wiring.Carpet Sales and Installation - Every property we have ever owned has received new carpet at some point during our ownership. 

For the most part I find decent information here.I do also suggest that there is literally no replacement for getting out and networking IN PERSON at RE Clubs.

The plus side of this is that is sounds like they aren't deferring maintenance due to a lack of funds - they are special assessing as needed. 

Let me know if that sounds good to you.Christine, if you are willing to take on new investor clients to make offers for, please let me know.
