@Alan Grobmeier I’m going to have a talk with them on Monday

@Sarah Brown

Not sure exactly how to settle this. What would our talk be about?

@Alan Grobmeier

I actually have a home warranty and they never came into play which they maybe should have. I’m in Omaha NE so def not a major city.

@Arlan Potter that $290 was seperate form the Pm fee...the PM fee is $102. Not sure what type of cartridge it was. Waiting for invoices to come through. pM should have sent them first thing I shouldn’t be asking for them

@John Thedford they don’t have an up charge, I’ve had many things repaired and this seems like the simplest repair at the most absurd amount. They said faucet was continuing to leak and had to change cartridge. Even if this was an emergency and needed to be fixed right away, which it wasn’t, it still wouldn’t cost $290.

@Christine

I told my PM to send me an invoice for the repairs and has yet to do so. He never mentioned any walls being replaced or anything else, just cartridge. He also is suppose to inform me, per lease agreement, any services over $200. That faucet was replaced prior to property being rented out. I just don’t understand where the $290 came from. He also said that the repairs that were done prior to property being rented out may have not used quality parts that they used which I think is total bs...it’s a tub faucet, how much more expensive can they get?!!!

@Aaron K.

Well my parents live in that area so wouldn’t be too difficult...Thats just one too many repairs my PM has charged me a ridiculous amount for. He’s also suppose to call me for any charges above $200 and never did.

Hello everyone,

My PM charged me $290 for replacement of a cartridge on a tub faucet. Does $290 not sound like I was way over charged? I mean how expensive are parts and labor? Sometimes I think about trying to manage my own properties from long distance. Thoughts?

College isn’t going anywhere, you can always go back...now grant it it’s more difficult to go back years later but not impossible. I guess that’s also a point you can ponder. I have a Doctorates and I love what I do but sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to start RE 10 years earlier than just this past year. I am also paying back $100+ in student loans but it sure is “easier” to come up with a down payment or getting approved for a loan. Now I am married with a kid on the way and working 40 hours a week and still find time to learn RE. Anything is possible if you have the right mindset and dedication ...which at 19 you should have plenty of both.

That’s interesting and I did not know that. So if I live in a property for more than one year, I won’t refinance if I decide to buy another owner occupied. What’s that mean in the future if I do decide to refinance?
