Account Closed - Cash flow plays are indeed difficult in Hawaii.

If it is normal and it's out of budget for you, you can either use financing to lower your cash outlay, partner up, or find a different property.If the work is cosmetic, it wouldn't be a big issue to tackle on your own, but if it's more than that, probably best to play it safe and hire out.

So it is definitely a long term play. 

Remember, cost segregation was a great benefit even when we didn't have bonus depreciation.

Since you got an appraisal done about a year ago you can add about 10% to that value they provided to get an idea of where fair market value stands today as a ballpark.No appraiser I know is going to look at the HOA financials and factor that in, because they are only concerned with the asset for appraisal although we all know the health of the HOA and financials still play a factor in the sale of a condo.I'm dealing with a similar HOA right now for one of my listings where the reserve is at only 7% funded for what's needed for the budget and there is an upcoming special assessment for each unit.

The huge bonus of this property was it was coming with all existing materials inside including, condensers, lumber, electrical wiring, as well as pex and PVC for the plumbing.

And FWIW, after managing tons of cleaning vendors for HUD and others in my past life, my approach is that you get what you pay for, that you should pay a little more than the average for your market if you want your cleaner to be a partner to your business (and that such will pay for itself), that you should thank and appreciate them often, that you should make them feel free to reach out for bonus requests but also should decrease the frequency of such by not reducing their comp when they encounter easier-than-normal cleanings, and that you should pay them immediately after the cleaning.

If you told him you have been playing pickup games for the past year and need help improving your jump shot, now he has evidence you're motivated and a specific goal he can quickly help you work towards.
