Hello everyone,
I would like to get a some opinions on the reasonableness of the move-in expenses given the work that is left to be done. Also, get a feel for if it is ok that they are not able to get me an itemized estimate.
Background: I have recently acquired an investment property in Dayton, OH. We got a new property manager who is helping get one of our new units ready. As an aside, this is the second person we have hired and have already spent $2K so far.
Scope & Pricing:
The new PM has proposed a total of $4,600 split between Material for $2,100 and Labor $2,500. He refuses to give us a detailed break out. I was able to get a listing of the work below.
