We added value by re-doing the whole house, installed vinyl floorings, rebuilt 2 and a half bathrooms, re-painted the whole house, replaced all the hardware in the house, installed new lighting, ceiling fans, re-painted the kitchen, and completely remodeled the upstairs.

Most basements get water in them at some point in my experience and I see “inadequate drainage”, “negative grading”, “recommend extending downspouts” etc. on most inspection reports.We had a property with a humid crawl space basement and set up a dehumidifier with a hose coming from it to a floor drain so that we didn’t have to keep emptying it’s tank all the time.

The building has 4 floors, or 5 if we count the attic.

Been at it for 5 years now, and absolutely love it, a lot of kitchens, bathrooms, floors, a few decks, and a couple compete basement finishes.

I want to avoid holding costs with him holding onto it while we renovate, but how to I make this as clean as possible?

Some sold them for a dollar.The large 3/3 or 4/3 top floor units had assessments of 500k or more.

But if you allow tenants to have pets it is not maintenance free and needs to be cleaned/sprayed down etc.

Also found a few floor joists with termite damage.

He can also leave any furniture behind and we will clean up.2 – Flexibility to close/move in on date at his convenience.What other suggestions should I make to make my offer better?

From the paint, to the floors, to the kitchen/bath remodel I'm sure it all looked great.
