Our hope is to simply be able to collect the rents as income, which is approximately 5% of the overall value of her investments.  

Hi,Me and my wife are planning to check out the Single Family Home.

The key will be to present the property’s value, the projected cash flow ($6k-$7k per partner), and the appreciation potential over the next few years.

I know most PMs already have go-to contractors for most things but I also know from experience that good contractors tend to get busy or scale to a point where quality suffers.For the professional property managers of the world, how often do you get solicited by new vendors and what can a new one do to convince you to give them a chance?

I am looking to rent it out, but I am not ready to give up access to it. 

I have a new builder now, but because the roof is already on and it is 80-90% complete, I can't find anyone who will write a builder's risk policy for it.

Do i take a snapshot photo of my outgoing phone call to the GC or can I simply summarize in the log that I had the 1 hour conversation with the GC and summarize the details of the conversation? 

Cold Calls - I find this extremely draining and it comes out when I do call.

A fridge and microwave and then paint and put up some nice decorations. 

Make sure you clearly identify the common areas (accessible to everyone living in the unit) and the private areas (like individual bedrooms).
