If there's a noise complaint, your tenant calls you, mine calls me, I call you, you call your tenant, I call my tenant, I call you...it's a ridiculous level of complexity and wasted time.

I want to get the kind of vinyl that is going to do a good job at reducing noise from tenants walking around, but will also hold up to scratches from furniture as much as possible.

I'm hoping to still spend an hour with my family in between all the grind.

Scale Adjustment Factor 1 Tear Down -60% 2 Major Repair -35% 3 Significant updates needed -15% 4 Cosmetic updates needed -5% 5 Zillow value - intentionally above average as Zillow factors in "sale ready" condition 0% 6 Major improvements 10% 7 High end value added everything 25%You'll notice that I consider "Zillow value" to be a 5 (greater than average) as my assumption is that most properties that are for sale are also above average outliers (on either side) factor out in to the "noise".Thoughts?

You are obligated to perform as a landlord per the state of NY and what it says on your lease.Some of those noises need to be accepted and tolerated on both sides of that wall.

Although I have achieved this, I realized late in the game it was more about having positive cash flow and avoiding the daily grind of finding, rehabbing, and flipping properties while also paying the government huge sums of money on short term flips.

Staying in that 60 hour/week, six day/wk grind for so long is what kept me from learning what to do in this space.

The vast, vast, vast majority do not.The reality is that (like almost everything else) it is a grind it out business that you must really commit to learning inside and out and working at in order to be successful.

I'm a newbie grinding to make that first purchase in the next 3-5 months, and absorbing as much information through books, podcasts, and blog posts the past few months.

Congrats and also salute to your focused grind
