Hi all,

I have an out-of-state SFH that just had its tenant move out. PM says that whole house requires repainting on the interior including cielings and that "sealants" might need to be used for cracks in certain areas. Given this, they are saying $3000 is what they were quoted for the whole interior house (about 1000sqft).

Does this seem reasonable? Or would this raise red flags for conflict of interest? 

I'm in this strange position of being out of state and unfortunatley not having the time to visit or gain personal expertise. So any perspective on this is welcome!

Hello, I’m new to the community and I’m seeking a mentor to help. I’m a licensed attorney and I’m willing to trade for legal advice

Thanks for the response Richard. That is a concern I share, giving up the low interest rate and some cash flow on the LTR's. That is a reason I would consider selling one, because the STR is in a market that is likely to have more appreciation. It is hard to give up the strong cash flow though. Appreciate your thoughts!

Hey BP Community!

So I got hit with a triple whammy on taxes. I bought a house-hack last summer in which the sellers made significant improvement to the property. The tax assessment last year was based on the home's prior condition but fast forward to this year and the taxes have doubled. Not only that, but I missed the homestead exemption deadline. AND I missed the tax appeals deadline for my county.

This one hurts and I am definitely going to have to bite the bullet on this one. Learning moment for sure. But I want to know if anyone has had any luck with the tax appeals process? And if so, what exactly would you go about appealing? Any other related advice would also be appreciated!

Thanks!
