In my lease and my contract with owners, I do 2 interior inspections a year and 2 exterior  or "drive by".

The plan was to complete flooring, electrical upgrades, new kitchen and bathroom, exterior fascia work, and some new windows, with a target listing date of June 15th.Update (5/12/24):The property has been stabilized since June 1st of the previous year with great tenants in place.

(Please note: if you are changing windows, siding, porch posts, porch structure, and any other major exterior changes ...get ready to paid more money $100.00 and meet the UDC -Urban Design Commission in which they meet twice a month to review your exterior changes for an approval, non-approval or defer which means more waiting before you get to the finish line which is your building permit for your rehab6.

I’ve gotten quotes ranging from $6,500-$12k to repair and waterproof the exterior walls, plus there's the added cost of repairing and repainting the inside walls.

Other exclusions are roof replacement, anything requiring a permit, exterior painting if more than 5% of surface, "maintenance related to the garden, lawn, or landscaping," anything covered by any of the various required insurance policies, etc.

It is coming in the exterior from what it looks like.

We cleared out mountains of clutter, pressure washed the exterior, and tackled endless repairs.

The property management company has developed a plan to meet this requirement:a) cleaning all windows troughs and sills, scraping and painting of window troughs and sillsb) scraping and painting of all previously painted floor surface that is chipping or peelingc) scraping and painting of any exterior paint that is chipping or peeling including garage decks and house d) scraping and painting of all exterior door thresholds and jams Their estimated to complete this pre-inspection repair work is $500.The certification inspection is $350City filing fee $50Property management coordination fee $50I need to know if this certification is mandatory or not, maybe Cleveland realtor and property manager on Biggerpockets could answer me and clarify my doubts.Let me know pleaseThank you very much

I assume adding an exterior set of stairs is out of the question?

If it has a basement, I'll look for discoloration in the exterior walls, sometimes you can see if there's been water in the basement (where I live sellers are required to disclose water problems).
