Some houses have so many decorations, misc. items around the house it is difficult to notice when things go missing over time.Hope this helps! 

So I'm guessing it might depend on your state laws and personal situation. and make sure you know of any sticky items that would eliminate the protection you get from the LLC.

You can hire someone on Fiverr website and they'll add furniture and personal items to a blank photo for a very reasonable price.

I figure the ones over 50 or 60 years old have already had all the big ticket items replaced.

Another complex I own in will replace the kitchen cabinets and flooring in the units as they were originally sold with these items.

So the inspection is pushed back 10-25 days until those items get installed. 

This way I get paid upfront for my work 1-2k plus I know I have another payday at some point in the future if the deal closes.The costs to fully develop a property and sell for near retail usually involves the costs below and takes 2-6 months or more in some cases, but the profits can be huge if you're working in markets where land costs are high:Title 200-400Legal 500-2000 depending on zoning issuesIf wetlands are present AND its a buffer zone project: 2000-5000Perc & septic design if needed 1500-3000Treescaping & cleanup for retail sale 500-1500Selling costs of 6%I tend to stay clear of properties that need more than the above expense items.  

I like using these for just this case.Another item to consider is since this is a 2nd floor I wouldn't be that worried since the 1st floor will heat the 2nd floor enough to not allow frozen pipes.I would also talk to an HVAC person because I believe they can also put a device to cycle the heat a few times a day or even put a secondary thermostat in the apt to take care of the minimum issues.I feel for you because otherwise you have a great tenant.

What I do is develop my own scope of work and then make my own estimate for each line item.

If you’re into management sims, it’s worth a shot, especially on sale.On a side note, if you’re into trading or selling in other games, platforms like here can be great for managing in-game items or cashing out from games like CS2.
