It just shows that you can massage data to give you the number you want.

Our PM served our tenant a notice (perform or quit notice) to restore it to operable condition or remove it within XX days, or it would be towed.

I know you asked for a demo contractor (no ideas there except if the local Habitat ReStore sells architectural elements they might have a suggestion or two) but this captured my attention.

In that unit I have repainted, put in new carpets, and restored it to a livable situation.

I asked them to write up their assessment in case I needed to filed a claim, and the manager got skittish and said no (weird).So i've called two additional companies (restoration and an odor removal), to get independent assessments.

In the event of a failure of an appliance during tenancy, it may be that the appliance would not be repaired or replaced by Landlord and just discarded due to the cost to restore.

I spent about 7k to restore the property back to operating condition.

To scale the rental side, I'm sure I would find that many of the properties would serve better as rentals after I update and restore them.

This December we gave our property assistant and our plumber each a gift certificate for a one-hour professional massage.

I will be restoring the detached apartment on the property while I live there and expect to have a substantial equity increase due to the restoration.
