Been listening to the Bigger Pockets Podcast for the last couple of weeks. 

So I got a call, from a tenant on one of my rentals, this week, to tell me the house was on fire.

If you are a bit of a control freak like I am you could write up a schedule that is sensible and done by the week and have your contractor sign it agreeing to it.

It includes the work to be done by us and the subcontractors such as HVAC, the price, and basic weekly schedule.4.

Thank you for that, im looking at the property this week to determine how much if any work will be needed to get it section 8 ready.

They'll also then be able to reflect these strategies on your return.If you are going to be doing lots of deals, consider a CPA that understands setting up systems within your business that can help you make better decisions and make more money (weekly profitability reports by property, weekly project reports on rehabs, etc.)And finally- if you are planning on doing your own taxes, don't do it the first year.

I drive up to Valley Springs weekly, PM me if you want.   

We should have confirmation next week.

I'm now looking at 6 weeks worth of repairs being paid for by the insurance company.

He is an investor himself and understood exactly what I was talking about.After we received our approval letter last week, I emailed him about a possible construction loan with his institution and his response surprised me.
