Naturally we are not enthusiastic to paint units in one-off colour schemes.Usually once or twice a year we get a tenant who asks to paint a room (usually a bedroom) or, occasionally, most of the unit, colours of their choosing.  

We occasionally do deals in other major metros of NC and are expanding more so into Raleigh / Triangle area.Happy to connect.

I performed ALL other work by myself with occasional help from Family members: Complete Electrical Revamp (New wires, Panel, Meter Base, outlets, etc), New Pex plumbing, Shed revamp, Landscaping, Windows, flooring..and basically everything else. 

Sometimes a local investor might take an interest in a new investor but even then their time is valuable so they might can answer the occasional question but if someone wants constant help they do not typically have time for that.

We never did a $60k loan anywhere....we raised $25k through GF and I expected to put in the rest, if any.The property was always secured with the exception of a rear bath window that was broken into occasionally probably by someone looking for a place to get out of the weather.  

Zillow numbers aren't always accurate but I occasionally check out the current Zillow value to just give me an idea of where it might be. 

I think I would forward a video to PM occasionally so that when I ask about my property they better assume I have others eyes on the case and I already know the answer to my question

Mostly because the net income by then will be around $500 or $600 per month per house which is more than enough to handle the occasional big ticket repair.The one thing I will say I understand is that I wouldn't want to have to count on my real estate income to replace my job income at a 1 to 1 basis.

I have transitioned to running my real estate business full time and flying occasionally now.  

One tactic you could use is to occasionally take a few small jobs on the off chance that they are planning on selling (or not, but would consider it) and therefore open to someone solving their "problem" quick and easy.
