Unfortunately, any decent contractor who actually shows up and does what they say they will do (very rare), is usually very busy, and moderately expensive.

You hope to be able to get some of your moneys worth from the current contractor, but my history tells me this hope usually is not going to be a reality.Nearly 2 years ago I had a major job that had a moderate size abatement issue.

Looking at business growth for our small Real Estate Team and what the primary objective will be for next year, goals supporting that objective, and what action plans will need to be initiated meet those goals.We set personal goals, family goals, and financial goals (business and personal).I have small daily goals I can easily meet and then set moderate 10 day goals to keep myself motivated (almost like a to do list).

But you should know as a moderator the difference between personal attacks and a truthful, but satirical post.

: Owned these types of properties for 5+ years, at least at moderate scale (say at least 5+ of these houses).Netted 50%+ of the gross potential rent over this 5+ year period, after compensating yourself at least $20/hr for the time you've spent AND covering ALL maintenance that was incurred beyond your initial rehab (even if you capitalized it on your taxes)No regrets and has enjoyed managing these properties (or at least hasn't regularly wanted to bludgeon yourself) Color me just a tad skeptical, it sounds GREAT on paper, but the long term reality?

She was a moderate disaster, paid her rent but a huge PITA who broke the lease and I was happy to see her go.

CA has historically been a momentum state, where prices move moderately, or more, depending on market factors.
