Love to see some actual numbers on how your property performed vs what they told you it would do...

great jobive been a licensed journey plumber holding licensing in Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Idaho for over twenty yearsjust being in the trade will get you leadsgo out and make a offer, find a place that needs some work and scoop it upyou have all the trades covered if you need to do rehab workits nice to see a younger person getting into the trades, all us old guys are getting to stiff to perform those jobs anymore and there are very few young hard working people aroundthe service price will keep going up so you will make a great livingenjoy

The contractor's goal is to complete the contracted task, and only that task, and get paid.

So it's a very low performing investment for the amount of capital I have tied up in it.

I'm looking for a General Contractor who is willing to walk properties (I realize there may be a fee), provide a decent estimate of costs, and ultimately perform/coordinate most of the rehab work.

It is used as one way to evaluate financial performance. 

@David Zheng I'm the really boring guy who would say "run it for a year like it sits and see how it performs". 

In regard to institutional real estate investments, the advice of an expert who works in the industry every day, knows all the players and their track records, and performs due diligence on each offering is a great benefit to you and comes to you at no cost.

I've been performing and studying music at the college level since elementary school and I've gone as far as winning awards at the regional level.

Both are very difficult tasks, but lucky for you BiggerPockets has a lot of great information on how to screen property managers and how to screen your deals.
