Hired a local contractor to walk the home and bid the entire project so I knew what I would spend before I bought.

As the Property Manager for a landlord, do you folks charge extra for any repair projects or maintenance calls that require on-site supervision and time spent above the normal call of duty to see the repair or maintenance through?

Essentially using the project itself as collateral.  

We don't want to tie up our ability to gets loans since we're trying to build our portfolio.So, I'm looking for advice on ways to fund this project.

I have 15 years experience as a Project Manager building Multi- Family projects anywhere from 9 unit town homes, 200 mid rise projects, to 400 unit Garden Style developments on previously undeveloped land.

Especially with the demolition of housing projects, you are very likely to find Section 8 tenants in many parts of the city, good and bad.

How have you set up pay and incentives with your go-to contractors so that they are incentivized to continue working on your projects and get them done timely and well? 

I use a sensitivity analysis as well in my pro forma so I can tell how aggressive I can get or how bad can things get before I consider it a bad deal or lose money.Can't say I haven't lost out on deals just bc of speed... one time I couldn't get a hold of my partner for an hour to decide what entity to submit the offer or hold title in and when I call back the listing agent they had literally just taken another offer.

In other words I can head up the project, I just don't have the money. 

@Matthew PaulI take my boys to my projects as well. 8 yr old can assemble a ceiling fan in 20 minutes, 9 yr old can paint an entire room and hang blinds.
