Hi everyone, I had a plumber come over, walked him through everything I wanted done, and he told me he would be done before Thanksgiving.

Over the years the only place I have lost money is the stock market.

My suggestion would be to cap your utilities at a certain amount and have Tenants pay anything over that amount.That will help you manage your expenses, and also allow Tenants to gage their usage each month, and make adjustments if they don't want to go over the allotted amount.As far as collection, provide the bill showing any overages and just have them pay for it along with their rent. 

The Wichita market currently does not have enough supply to meet the buyers need. 

Quote from @Tim Brinsek: I've been looking all over for this and haven't found any resources yet.

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development. 

We finally close with title insurance.14. seller is holed up  its a massive hoarder situation as bad as I have ever seen.15. another 6 months to get eviction.so about 30 months later we finally take possession and bull doze house and built three new homes.  250k in out for 30 months  another 30k in legal fees..

We are open to meeting over a coffee, DMs, etc.Have a great day! 

If it's a massive budget, lenders may peak in a bit more, but definitely doable. 

Some buyers enter these agreements without fully understanding the financial commitment, often influenced by overly optimistic advice.
