I am a Field Service Engineer, I repair/service Nuclear SPECT camera's.

So I want to start a  residential assistant living.

However, I’m not comfortable with the amount of money I have in savings for more properties and/or a turned market, major repair, etc.

With all the repairs there's no way they're getting a mortgage on this place and its heir property that the widow owns with her kids, so she doesn't want to owner finance (trust me, I checked all the boxes to try to make this deal work).

Thanks I’ve got a comp on the property through an agent and ran my numbers with repairs and I will be selling the house myself.

You can avoid these issues by repairing surface defects or spackling.

I will need someone that can go look at the properties to let me know how much they will rent for and what repairs are needed.Does anyone know a “rock star” property manager?

One podcast recently i listened to mentioned that he self manages all his properties to save on the PM fees, but he has some sort of policy with the local utilities that basically gives his tenants a 24hr number to call if something was to happen to say a frig or hvac... he even mentioned it covered a clogged toilet..I am curious what exactly is this such policy he is talking about, because the way he worded it, it sounded like he took most of the headache out of the job with this and he just worries about getting new tenants and collecting rent... he said the policy was cheaper than just keeping a handyman on call to do the repairs.. 

ARV value at 650k with 50k repairs.

My costs go up every year in taxes, insurance, costs of repair, HOA dues, etc.. if you choose to, then definitely include something in return.
