I too believe it is getting harder and harder to find the people you really need to consistently get the results you need to keep losses down in small-scale fix-and-flip and buy-and-hold operations like ours.Joe, I too have noticed the almost total lack of forum postings on how the non-self-managed are able to get actual quality work done instead of the illusion of it.

Home improvements make sense if your neighbors have significantly higher quality features in their homes.

I'm a little bit worried about quality of tenants at that price.

Add to that you are essentially getting a free GC to oversee work, quality control it, negotiate pricing, hold vendors accountable, etc.In PM it's ALL about finding the right PM with lots of experience and who knows their stuff.

Double standard?

@Anino Adokpaye i use fiverr a lot but as for what your looking to have done i would go with upwork and before even hiring the help send messages back and fourth make sure the person is going to work at your standards most of them have a reporting system for you so that they can prove they are doing the work but still interview them (through messages) and find the one that fits right for you.

Not only that, but with a constant rate of turnovers, it will certainly take up more of your week than a standard single family rental would.What about housecleaning?

Generally if you are buying with the assistance of an Agent, your Agent will have Lenders they have previously worked with, and know the quality of service provided.

It's super important for you to know the industry's standard formula for wholesaling properties (ARV * 65% - FEE) and you can tell what's a great deal or not. 

Are you happy with the pricing and quality of work with the vendors?
