@Roy Morris it really depends on size of property State Farm is competitive for smaller properties under 4 units. I have some contacts shoot me a text and I will send over.

@Trey Knight hey buddy long time no talk. So I was in the same situation as you, W2, wife, two young children, daily exercise routine. Do NOT give up exercise that is key to a fresh mind, but if you are working out for two hours cut it down to one and increase intensity. Only listen to books and podcasts when driving. Also sadly you will have to sacrifice your time with family, the first year of my daughters life I was rarely around and when I was I wasnt present becasue I was working on deals. At my W2 job I was constantly distracted and never took a lunch so I could focus on real estate. Also I managed all my own properties to uncrease returns. Partnering also allowed me to grow exponentially as I was able to take a percentage for property management. Fast forward two years, I am 1 year out of my W2 and have 110 apts (plus 99 units under contract) and a property mgmt company. You can definitely do it but you have to sacrifice alot... but the sacrifice doesnt last forever. Good luck reach out anytime!

@Meg K. It depends. There are sliding scales of what a handyman is worth also how much work you are providing them. If its sporadic than expect to pay higher rates (the rates you mentioned are very reasonable on a pro rata basis). I have a PT hmadyman that is paid $18 an hour for basic work and $25 an hour for snow removal. They have their own truck and are fairly independent.

Description:

Come Join The Next Omaha Real Estate Meetup at 4503 Center Street "Paddy Mcgowans bar and restaurant", Omaha, February 13th at 6pm.Featured Speaker: Shawn Woedel - Senior Vice President of National Real Estate Insurance Group. If one of your investment properties catches fire today, are you certain it is insured adequately? If your tenant suffers carbon monoxide poisoning from a heating source inside of your rental, would you be covered under your liability policy if you’re sued? Many investors assume that just because they have insurance, everything is covered. Truth is, it’s not. With over 12 years of experience insuring properties for real estate investors, Shawn Woedl, Senior Vice President of National Real Estate Insurance Group, has seen some of the scariest claims. Shawn will teach you how to properly insure your investment property so this doesn’t happen to you.

This group will focus on bringing together business owners, contractors, local house hackers, flippers, buy and hold investors, lenders, wholesalers, apartment investors, and individuals new to the industry so we can share knowledge and help each other grow.

@Mindy Jensen @William Glass we will definitely be having a meetup during the weekend! William I will be sure to post in the events section both dates and time.

@Cody Furman I just dealt with this issue at an apartment building I just purchased. I flat out told them they needed to take down the cameras immediately. The only difference possibly was my resident had cameras in the common area hallways. I am also putting up my own cameras but will be the only one with access to view them.

@Aditya Soma congrats! I was able to leave my job close to a year ago... I however soon realized that my journey had just begun. Best of luck and stay hungry leaving the W2 is just the first step as I am discovering.

@Ty Doke welcome to BP. I currently invest in multi-family in Omaha and self manage all my current properties. I also run a meetup that typically meets once a month. Lets try to setup a call soon and see how we can help each other. Feel free to PM me to exchange contact info.

@Alex Varner The most that I would consider as a fair initial price is 1/3 of total cost. However I do typically like to see the contractor begin the project (at least setup) before I lay out any funds. I typically do no make my first payment until project is 50%+ completed. Best of luck!
