Tenants will look for TONS of reason to not have to pay full rent...be careful on what you concede on or it will just reward them and the gates will open.If its a bedroom and the person will be displaced fro a decent amount of time, I would calculate a % of the rent to discount....... 4 bedroom house for $X/month..... that's $Y per bedroom per day and then do the math.

If those are the rules, then those are the rules and I will concede...however, I would have to imagine that a good majority of people perform their renovations directly after acquisition to take advantage of the building being empty and not having to deal with construction in a live/working environment...logical, right...so because I didn't place my newly acquired building in-service prior to demolition/renovations I don't get to claim ~$340K of Partial Disposition deductions??? 

Anna, honestly, I think that if you take the time to outline all the issues you are having with the manager, confront them, and just ask them to terminate the contract, they may simply concede as a good business decision.

In Tallahassee, the seller and I couldn’t concede on $2K to strike a deal which would have landed a 12% cap rate.

We conceded and did those thing.  

After sitting on the board as President I finally conceded that the high HOA costs were an accurate reflection of the cost of maintaining the common grounds, like it or not.

Tim - Just wondering if you wanted to answer any of my questions with some more context from the book or if you just wanted to concede that my points were valid and that you haven't actually read the textbook.

I have heard you claim that tenants never move due to rent increases, now you are conceding rent increases can cause people to move?

I also know that if the violations are not cleared the seller can concede money into the escorw account for me to clear the vilations.  

Thank you again, my friend has already conceded his assumptions were wrong, so now I just want to find the best, yet simplest way to do things.
