Most of the time, the home warranty takes a long time to approve your repair, reach the property, and then they use low-quality materials.

During demo, if they open up a wall and find a leak that requires a change order. the change order should be specific to that repair and have a cost associated with it. 6.

One of our parks is 60% POH and in my experience the only way that park pencils as well as it does is to get through all the major repairs, get the homes 'right' and then keep them 'right'.

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

Is it a plumber that did a repair on one of your rentals?
