It wasn't easy for me at first but fortunately after nearly 6 years in the business, I've been able to develop a good foundation of contractor support but it's something I continue to work on. 

Depends on how much meat is on the bone.

I mean, just because it's crappy now, doesn't mean it wasn't done right.asbestos tile cost me 37k 2 years ago.. bill bob hombre contractor tried to hid them taking them to the dump.. state came down on us like a ton of bricks.. luckily its a 3 parcel deal with tons of meat so while don't like it we can live to fight another day and still make a nice lick.this stuff is serious this asbestos and lead and cracked foundations.. 

I typically spend in the $750 a year range on my properties in repairs in the DC area on gross rents of $36,000, so that puts me at about 2% on repairs on average.

The money will cost me about 5-6% annually , so I would have to outperform that with enough meat left on the bone ..

Most of my sales are off market as I set a firm, fair price and leave some meat on the bone so I have 1/2 dozen investors interested in anything I want to sell as my locations are in high demand.

Stick with the world gold standard in a Cook Islands Asset Protection Trust or the hybrid Domestic Component if you don't have a reason to go purely offshore with a connecting "migration" clause.

If the tenant is someone that likes to cook a lot, then they probably don't care much about you private bathroom and vice versa. 

You need to have some serious meat on the bone to make private money work.

Didn’t show up when I originally searched the court records... with his drug use(possibly cooking in my rental) could I get an emergency eviction and get him out quicker?
