This works out well when I need him to change out a couple of window units or do sheetrock repair but to tighten a plug it's not so great.I'm interested in how folks with multiple properties have agreements in place with their maintenance crews/contractors?  

Today I went to the home going to need a lot of work but my father told me around $80,000 that includes plumbing, electrical, kitchen, renovate one bathroom add an additional bath to master suite on second floor, creating an open floor plan, finishing the basement, Vinyl siding for exterior, windows, and extensive landscaping.

Also, there's a window in the shower with a wood frame.

Replacement of roof in 2008 and windows in the year 2000. 

Also window units are very common in that area as well.

Here is a list of the work that needs to be done:Total sqft: 15751st floor: 9302nd floor: 645Lot dimension is 100'x150'Side driveway with access on the frontBack detached garage 1 stall access from alley wayInterior Floor 1First two rooms total of 408ft^2Carpets removedHardwood finishedWalls/Ceiling Painted w/ 8ft ceilingsReplace Windows - 3(2.5'x5'), 1(4.75'x5')Small Foyer 39ft^2Flooring (tile?)

Read your lien laws, maybe it shortens the window to file a lien.  

Its ok to have a 10k window, such as, the house having an ARV of 260to 270ish, but you do not want to have a 50k window.

We have been in a window of about 2 years where flipping is a solid opportunity in some markets, but that might stall out in another 12-24 months depending on what the economy does.I know the above is not an "answer", but perhaps a means to ask the questions that will lead you towards what is best in your situation.

So I walked onto the property and looked through windows and decided it was worth making an offer in it.
