@Michael TranzilliI’ve worked for so many buyers/sellers, done a million code lists in my tenure as a contractor, never heard of a buyer asking for insulation replaced.

Your job is to put discounted real estate under contract and have a rough estimate of the repair costs (since you are new I would suggest paying a contractor to walk the property with you and give you an estimate—not a detailed scope of work but a ballpark rehab number) Remember that different investors have different strategies.

My investing strategy is roughly:- Acquire single family homes in the 75 -125k range for 20% down (possibly even using something like Roofstock)- Renovate/update as necessary- Get quality contractors and PMs to mostly run things- Investing will be buy and hold for cash flow. 

My pro pbmanager charges $15 for each 15 min they spend for coordinating contractors or doing any work related to the property.

I introduced a friend who is in Fremont to use the same contractor for the ADU. 

Hacks of OPM databases compromised 22.1 million people, federal authorities sayTwo major breaches last year of U.S. government databases holding personnel records and security-clearance files exposed sensitive information about at least 22.1 million people, including not only federal employees and contractors but their families and friends, U.S.

I was a General Contractor back in the 00’s Specializing in Handyman type and small construction (Kitchen and Bathroom’s, Fences and Decks).

I don’t want to deal with the hassle of contractors and stuff while I am a out of state but if newly remodeled condos sell for a premium I might be willing to do it.

My realtor has been amazing thus far, in which he told us that he has plenty of contacts with contractors, handyman, plumbers etc. 

Feel free to use me as a resource to verify rents, run cap rates, or need recommendations for insurance agents, mortgage brokers, and/or contractors, etc...
