Around here, if I was using a PM I would use 14%.

If you are using a property manager or real estate agent to manage your property and provide tenant screening, what is the minimum info they should be providing to support their tenant recommendations?

But I would suggest using a thick primer or an "ultra hiding" paint to cover the brown as quickly as possible.

Does any have experience using a third party to find a cash buyer?

Alex Baev, I purchase my primary homes using a VA Loan as I am active duty military.

Looking to buy SFR for BUY and HOLD using a BRRR strategy, plan A anyways.

Yet the former building has eight more linear feet of wall, which, using a nominal eight-foot wall height, equates to 64 more square feet of wall (which is nearly 6% more than the latter building size).  

I had to give your reasoning to one I am using as we speak.Given the choice between setting one up or spending energy being proactive about running things in a safe way, I say put energy into learning how not to be sued first, setting up entities second when starting out.

It sounds like what you're looking for is a General Contractor (GC) to come in and take care of the renovation "soup to nuts" (what does that even mean :)...This is quite common in this industry, especially for investors who don't have the time, knowledge and/or ability to find sub-contractors and personally manage them (the alternative to using a GC).The benefits of a GC are:- One guy does everything for a fixed price- He takes care of all the materials- He manages the contractors- He manages the schedule- He manages the budgetThe drawbacks of a GC are:- It's more expensive (generally between 7-20% of the total renovation costs)- You lose control over the schedule, budget and contractors- If you choose a bad GC, he could easily end up going over budget and schedule- If you choose a bad GC, the whole project will go badly, not just one part of it- You still need to manage the GC closely, at least until you have a good relationship and know how much you can trust himI'm sure there are more pros and cons, but those are the big ones...

So using a QI even in a simultaneous or direct swap is a pretty good plan.
