@Kieran Donahue, nowadays, a the shingles are delivered in my area by a conveyor truck. 

I don't want agents and turn them away...lolHappy to keep on trucking along with my commercial real estate clients and doing transactions one by one as a principal broker.I have friends that like to be babysitters with residential agents.

I would hope if you ran a trucking company, you would know a little more than what fuel your trucks take, like how much weight they can haul, what fuel mileage they get, etc.

With 6 houses like this we are looking for other alternative methods to finance the full amount up front. 

The alternative is to take my profit while the going is good, and run.

For 2+ units I'd expect the landlord to be responsible.Keep an eye out within neighborhood for landscaping trucks and notice if they do a good job!

My neighbor hired him, he's there with his crew and cement truck, so I can't say "show me your insurance" now.We paid the guy $250 cash, he left us his business card, so I'm deciding to make a receipt to my myself, attach a photo of the work he's done, to memorialize it.

Hi All, I'm looking for recommendations on alternate AC solutions in St.
