Lease option teant/buyers are willing to pay a bit more for this service.

I'm about to close on my 4 family unit in Kingston, NY.I want to take one of the units for myself and rehab it a bit, finish the attic and add a deck in the yard.Looking for an affordable, reliable contractor to give me an estimate of the costs. 

Good luck on your endeavors and thank you for your service!

I've heard that some seasonal mobile home parks shut off service to the entire park for the winter.

Hi I use Derek Atwell in Monroe..he does taxes for commercial and residential investors and re brokersAnd has done an excellent affordable job for us.

I am leaning toward starting out with the buy and hold strategy, there are a lot of affordable multi-family properties in my area and I would love own a few as rental properties to start out.  

If you think your brokerage services to list a property are worth $15,000 or 10% or whatever else, you can negotiate that commission.  

Sounds like you are on the right path in offering services for gaining knowledge.  

I would be careful about bumping the rent to include these services; tenants can get real careless with water consumption if they are essentially getting all they want for a fixed price. 

I would be interested in offering my services as an Interior Designer and/or estimator of rehabs, along with my extensive construction and supply contacts.
