I hope this is helpful if anyone is looking for new software to keep track of their income and expenses for their rentals! I have been using RentalHero for about three years now I believe and haven't needed to look for any other software. For a smaller landlord like myself, it's the most simple and also has an app for your phone. Is anyone else using Rental Hero? Curious if there are some other tricks that I should be using!

How do you receive payment?

.. the actual subfloor is fine but its in the contract to install new subfloor anyway

This makes no sense, unless it’s a soundproofing condition mandated by the co-op. Any detail you google about sound-proofing floor assemblies are going to show you a build up of way more than 3/4”. I suppose even a 1/4” layer of sound dampening membrane is better than nothing, but why on earth would replacement of the entire subfloor be required?

You said it’s a rehab, is it completely gutted, no cabs no existing floor finishes? Why would subfloor “replacement “ be in the conversation?

Thats what the HOA/Management wanted. The property must of had some leak.. right now on the floor is a sound deadeding underlinement, that seems moist.. The HOA is concerned with noise, so thats what they want and are offering 5k towards replacing the subfloor, I also have to install Quietwalk underlinement

Adding it over existing subfloor will require you to undercut all your doors, and cause havoc throughout the unit

You should replace it as it’s mentioned.

Depending on the square footage of the unit not sure if 5k will be enough and assume unit is completely empty of personal belongings and has no flooring in the unit over the subfloor

unit is empty , its a rehab property.. 3/4 plywood fits the doors

So, looking to purchase a co-op and the co-op is offering a credit towards replacing the floors.

"Buyer to receive $5000 credit at closing, Buyer agrees to replace subfloor with 3/4 plywood, mildew resistant and sound proof flooring insulator"

Obvious labor is expensive, What are your thoughts on this.. the actual subfloor is fine but its in the contract to install new subfloor anyway

with the "replace subfloor", could I install new 3/4 plywood over the existing subfloor which technically i am replacing the subfloor or do i need to discard the old subfloor and install the 3/4 plywood??

thoughts?

So im in the middle of purchasing a multifamily home with current tenants and a long time PM. I plan on keeping the PM for a few months to help me get settled with new leases. I plan on having a meeting with him... What questions should I ask? Im guessing questions about the tenants and if any problems with the propery? Anything specific?

Hello, I'm purchasing a rehab property as a cash deal. Im looking to do about 25k worth of repairs towards it. I would like to finance the repairs. Would a 203k loan work in this situation or do I have to apply for a personal loan? Or HELOC
