Since this was our first GC job we learned a lot, and probably could have cut a month out of the project with better scheduling of subs.  

Fast forward to today and realizing the amazing amount of time I spend DAILY not only coordinating projects (which if you can't stand, this is not a career for you) but what is maddening in when I'm simply the conduit to pass very minor bits of info between contractors and as we all know, screwing up on some seemingly minor piece of that info that for instance may seem very minor to myself and lets say the carpenter and electrician, BUT causes a MAJOR hang up for the plumber (and assuming you're pulling permits as I do, toss in an additional delay for the inspector to be re-scheduled and now this formerly minor point has just hung up a big part of a project for days, maybe longer. 

Flexible schedule helps.

Of course you can figure it out in advance with an amortization schedule.

I'd pull out the schedule and do a little research on those areas and then when you get a little off time while your there, go check things out and do some networking with property management, other investors, etc...

I was glad, then i made a phone call there and scheduled an appointment within an hour to check out the property.

Additionally, Schedule C (how a sole prop files) may cost $300 to file.

When I have a new tenant move in I like to make sure they have the local phone book, recycling/garbage schedule and other local info (restaurants and such) I also like to get a small plant to welcome them.We have some long term tenants that really take great care of our properties and we like to say thanks to them, I was told by a senior that lives in a unit that the gift card I gave her at Christmas fed her for a week!

They are scheduled to meet the second Thursday of every month at 7:00 p.m. at the Mason County Historical Society Museum ... but they may be on break, vacation, have a cold, or otherwise not meeting this month. 

No need for you to spend your time hassling around their schedule to fix something THEY did.
