Ways to decrease expenses in MF units
Hey guys - I am looking for ways to decrease expenses on our MF units- A little about the property: It is a Class C (we are slowly turning into a B) - and some of our current expenses include: pest control (because North Carolina bugs/pests are HORRIBLE!), landscaping & trash *this last one though we bill back so I am not counting as a true expense* An issue we have had of lately are the AC units needing to be looked at & repaired. We don't really have the budget to add new AC units but wondering on ideas on how to cut some costs there.
Any and all ideas are welcome and appreciated!

I would put the pest control and AC’s under service contracts. Negotiate the heck out of them. At least you won’t have surprises.
