This post is for those of you who don’t have a dedicated maintenance team on hand.What app or website do you think is the best to find contractors for regular maintenance work?

A contractor came out today and said it would cost roughly "at least 10k to 12k" to attend to the structural and other main issues, not including removing and replacing the crumbling concrete foundation, replacing mechanical door, side door, painting, plus anything that reveals itself once he's into the work etc.

Installing a front door and removing the old one may be up to 3 hours labor, tack on .5 more for the pickup.

I also have CPAs that I work with regularly and I’m happy to refer you their way.

It is possible the yard of garage is not being used, but even in such cases the removal subtracts from the original residence.  

There were several times that they found problems that a regular search of the public record for encumbrances wouldn't show (and the bank's title company was less than honest about it).

A regular rental is tough to cash flow in Fresno or Clovis especially if you want something decent quality but I'd think that's where investors can get creative with the investing strategies like short term rental, house hack and more.

Even if you put $50,000 down with 4.2% interest your mortgage, insurance, property taxes, trash removal, water, owner's electric meter, maintenance, etc. will exceed $4,000 per month and there won't be any booty to pay your partners for 20 to years until after you increase rents.The property could make decent money for someone who can put $150k to $200k down and for someone who has a lot of cash in the bank for rehabbing units when tenants move, for a new roof, plumbing, repairs, etc.

This includes all the miscellaneous services like pest control, lawn care, and snow removal.
