@John Moran,There are number of active investors as well as service providers who are frequent contributors on this forum.

@Cassi Justiz Thanks for the recommendation.I have to clean up the 400+ apps on my iPhone and make a page of apps just for REI!

A property management company is a vendor and I wouldn't give equity in exchange for vendor services. 

what Christopher says is true to some extent, private money lenders will look at a recent appraisal especially when you have cleaned up the foreclosure and if its rented.

So the only question is, does the Market Rent for that location and Type of Unit cover the HOA, plus Debt Service, plus whatever other Expenses need to be paid..Because if it doesn't, the Landlord is in for a world of hurt!.

My wife and I have just closed on our first property and I am actually taking this week, to clean and refinish some areas of the house.

Typically that can be a little work to get rid of but manageable, with renovation, cleaning, and extermination.

Replacing a faucet is a fairly quick and easy task for a plumber, but they'll charge one hour of time and sometimes there is a longer minimum for any service call. 

The landlord-tenant relationship is simply not all about bloodless logic and the simple exchange of money for a service or product.

Although I would primarily be in the business of wholesaling I’m also going to have my real estate license and I want to offer the services of listing homes and helping people find their dream homes or investment properties.
