Everyone else on your team will be transaction-based and not really involved after a purchase.We're in the Metro Detroit area, so you may want to follow our blog here on BP, but at least read the following posts:How to “Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesIn our experience you will need to:1) Learn to "Maintain to the Neighborhood", not your personal standards2) Tenant-Proof everything you can Hard surface flooring, not carpeting (too easy to trash) Same basic paint for everything No garbage disposals for them to break Only spring-type doorstops also with plate on the wall Glue rubber mats under sinks to prevent water damage Sheet aluminum on walls around stovetops, for easy grease removal Towel racks - screw 1x3 to wall studs, then screw rack to that Install low-profile downspout ext, not aluminum that always disappear Plan on cleaning gutters and leaves up in the fall as tenants won't Avoid garage door openers3) Have a great application screening process: Check credit for evictions & convictions, utility collections Focus on employment/income stability Require bank or debit card statement - you'll be surprised what they spend their money on!
Buck Dabill Old Hotel into apartments, Should I buy?
17 March 2022 | 14 replies
Are there mini-split installers in your area that can work up high on your buildings top floors.What about heat and hot water, how will that be handled.Can the buildings existing plumbing and the line(s) to the main street waste line handle the bathrooms  and kitchen sinks (1952 lines might be cloggy and an endless source of complaint) have sewer scopes been done to see what they look like.Will you be required to put in fire escapes (as well as other modern fire equipment)--has that been budgeted for.Have you talked about tax abatments yet with the governing authority.Does the area show a shortage of apartments, or will it take a long time to fill units when they turn over.Hows the roof (and the real roof underneath--the wooden one), how many layers of roofing are on it, how many can be on it and still get financing.Does it have some unique history, ie. did Frank Sinatra always stay there, people think its haunted, once owned by the Beatles, etc..Who was the last Hotel Chain to Flag it and why did they shut it down (Legionaries Disease, poor economy, expensive structural issues, etc...)Just my 2 cents.
