When shopping for their next rental both I and the inlaws came along in order to provide an extra pair of eyes to spot any potential problems.

My point is stay a vie and don't close your eyes.

also the more of these properties that are fixed and rented and kept in good shape will turn grade D neighborhood to a C,B neighborhood and raise the value of properties throughout the city. in my eyes warzones don't exist just untapped opportunities to build better communites.

It's a third world country trying to become a developed country, but still a long way to go.The medical care here is poor for major medical.

In my eyes, those duties should be viewed as "outside" of the partnership.

Just pay your GC to fit in a new one and patch the drywall when complete.As you mentioned, this is a tiny detail...it's good to keep an eye on costs, but not good to nit pick every last dollar spent.

There are a couple of other properties that I have my eye on!

@Steve:I do not have a complaint per se, I am just hoping for a landlords-eye view of what policies are 'Well, that's life in the big city' versus 'Unethical and probably illegal, run now!'

Aaron Ruiz,Moving above duplexes was an eye opener for me.

Because you are dealing with both a distressed homeowner, and more importantly in the eyes of title companies a bank taking a significant loss, title companies will not insure a dry closing.
