If you get it treated by a reputable company and you do end up having a termite issue the bond will cover the damages. 

I'm a huge fan of vertical integration but as you alluded to - cooperation among suppliers for goods and services can be a little tricky - as you are now often competing with them at least on certain fronts - although it depends on how you choose to vertically integrate. 

We are in need of a reputable Vinyl Siding contractor for a Duplex in Gloucester Twp.

Have you researched the work/reputation of the Developer? 

Eventually I built a reputation of getting things done in real estate. 

@Kyle GreenGo with a reputable national company. 

@Jason Coyle thanks he’s a contractor and I actually work for his supplier as a sales rep so I understand fully the construction business plus I know the ins and outs of getting the best deals with vendors.....basically he doesn’t know the sales side, the real estate market etc...

It's important to work with professionals who have good reputations and experience.

Ask the seller for the P&L and if you can't get it from them or their property management company, then call around to a reputable PM in the area to find out what some ideal expenses could be.

I would trust my assets to a good, well vetted and reputable PM more than some random funds manager.
