Is it better to use quality products or take the cheapest option to increase margins?

The Fed increased interest rates (for the third time this year) yesterday, and indicated they intend to raise them again in December. 

Let's say they manage 7 properties for a local investor with a rental range of $900 to $1200/month per unit - the reality is that they may put minimal effort for your business, versus much more effort for someone who is a significant local customer at a notably higher price point.  

The point of this post to help share ideas on how to self manage your Townhome unit and increase your returns in the Kansas City marketplace.  

Part of this change is to increase density, public transportation, etc.  

I'm curious if anyone has seen a significant increase in property taxes either way, how their lender evaluated the potential increase, and if their lender was on board with an entity transfer. 

My friend is currently a plumber and has the ability to do anything from create custom cabinets to building a deck from scratch, and everything in between.

The point I am trying to make is that leverage can increase your returns but as you pay back principal you're leverage decreases.

I have an LLC (Single member self managed) I just started for general contracting/ renovations repairs for customers. 

Think of what you can do to increase rents / reduce expanses.
