Hi George,The numbers I'm trying to match are from Roofstock.

Do not accept just some screwed on screen to cover the holes and all (commonly done by the Critter Fixer co's), but a handy person can replace the wood/siding OR like we do in many places, actually make a metal "sleeve" to fit over the fascia board or areas needed, secure it, caulk/paint back to match and, you can hardly tell it is there! 

The strategy you choose is based on the market you are investing in, the potential cash flow and/or profit that can be made in the market matched up with the strategy that delivers the deal best. 

Ask as many questions as you have to ask before moving forward.Lastly, if what you see with your eyes does not match what you are hearing with your ears, hit the pause button.  

Even if you read every line of the local codes and ordinances, what it says on paper and what happens in the real world don't always match.

Skirted, on stacks of cinder blocks, like a mobile home––not on wheels, permitted, but not on a permanent foundation.Though there is seasonal ebb and flow, historical data from friends' properties in the area appears to be matching up with what my property is generating––an expected $25K in after-management-fees revenue from each unit is reasonable, with more possible.

Definitely replace the 2 front doors with matching ones.

.◉ Go on Zillow/realtor/redfin etc◉ go to filters◉ type in remodel on the keyword◉ look through the listings of renovations that matches your pursuits◉ call the listing agent and ask for information on the remodeler, and offer the agent a listing if you can use that person and make a killer flip◉ call the remodeler and establish a good relationship◉ learn your numbers This is how I found the GC I have now.
