It's essentially a really fancy RV on RV hookups. it's movable on a trailer, parked on concrete and on additional supports.

Hi Sam, I’ve found outsourcing common area cleaning with routine inspections works best.

Hi, RichardThank you very much for the advice based on your experience, which is very helpful for me to move forward.If you were the owner of the following house, how much do you estimate routine maintenance/repair costs and cash reserve per year?

Nothing fancy, just targeted at the things that really do matter for small landlords without all the extras.For others who already do this:How much time do you spend on bookkeeping each month?

No appraisals etc.On foreclosure rescue when it was legal in Or Wa  I would routinely save these deals one day before the auction and sometimes an hour before.. it was hair on fire but we did lots of them that way and actually the vast majority.. the owners dont get real serious until about 48 hours to 72 hours before the prop is oging to sale. 

Build one path, measure it, and keep trimming the friction until booked calls become routine.

New construction costs start at $350/ft2 in my area these days, and go up to $2,000/ft2 if you get fancy. 

When each project follows a clear routine, it becomes much easier to grow without feeling overwhelmed.

For small portfolios, I like giving PMs $500–$750 authority per repair, which covers most routine issues without constant approvals.

A simple laminated sign with clear steps + teaching your cohost a quick shock routine can go a long way.
