The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

This is going to be a long-term rental and although I won't be living in it, I want my tenants to be safe and feel comfortable if I ever need to sell it so will be doing through extra diligence.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

For example, there may be a significant difference for properties with 4 bedrooms and 1,700sf-ish etc, which may cause you to consider the extra value of adding a bedroom and sf.

For basement ceilings or basements that are finished, but not bougie, I don't mind multiple spray layers, but interior rooms you are in all the time need that extra care.

That's how you scale it, just put all your extra income into marketing and it will be fully tax deductible (it's your expenses after all).

But your best buyers have already seen it and could have made the same offer without having to pay extra to you.

I have my painter itemize extra charges so I can deduct from deposit.

I have lots of extra time on my hands, am self motivated, and mostly have a desire to learn more about real estate.

When people here send me private messages or ask me on a call, one of the many things I'd tell them if they want to buy pre-construction is to check the developer's construction license and that it complies with the zoning rules (and I'll tell them if I know what those are).You woudn't believe the amount of people that are ready to put a sizeable amount of cash on the table but won't spend the little extras needed to make sure they don't lose it.
