These will be more expensive projects, but the house would be greatly updated and more appealing.2.

Appeal of STR tax savings is appealing, but I don't want to end up like Jackson.Love your post!

We have LVP in some kitchen/bath areas and it is holding up well, but if you have a choice tile.The only caveat I can think of is aesthetically having all one floor is more pleasing than many room transitions.

Does that sound appealing? 

[Timely: appeal deadline Monday Nov 18 2024 - need to submit by Friday 15th - tomorrow]The Property: I own a 4 plex in Seattle (magnolia) Washington bought in 2014.

Mostly appeals to larger family units but we've had traveling nurses bringing their family, folks needing a place for outpatient surgery, also people between moves, etc. 

Quote from @Luis Maza: Hi all, returning to the game this year and would like to pick your brain a bit, we started working with a wholesaler that will send us properties here and there with the "wholesale" price, but every time we check the properties and add the numbers, the margins are, well, I am not sure, too low perhaps, maybe we are getting to picky, but this is my dilemma for example...Today we got a property, wholesale price 300K, rehab about 50-60K, ARV is about 440k, but with the cost of hard money, we have about 100k cash, hard money interest at 11%, keeping the property for 90 days while we finish the rehab, closing costs,  commissions, we ended with 30k profit before taxes, while it sounds appealing, adding up all expenses and cost we ended up expending 50K on rehab(labor/materials) and about 50-60K with cost of the loan, interest, commissions, etc, everyone makes money, happy with that, but it seems that we are working to produce a 100k for everyone else, while we make 20-30k if everything goes well...In my opinion, we are not really getting "wholesale" price, it seems that we either buying to expensive, rehabs are much more than we would like to spend and the cost of borrowing that money is too high...We came up with thoughts as: lets fund it ourselves with money from a close friend/partner that we will bring in, and that would save us 10-15k here and there, but still, is that the norm now?

Short term, assuming the real estate lobby doesn't sue this to keep delaying/appealing, once it goes into effect there will be no more broker fees paid by tenant *unless they hire the broker*Some long term effects I can predict already: - Landlords now having to absorb broker fees will bake this into the rent (e.g. how "no fee" units typically are priced a little higher than other units) - Real estate board will require another document (or checkbox) for tenants to sign stating that they're hiring the listing broker and responsible for compensating them for their fee *if* they apply and are approved- Regular New Yorkers will have an even harder time to find an apartment because you cannot legislate/regulate away a housing crises... 

The modest purchase price, combined with an ideal renovation budget, presented a prime opportunity to improve the home’s market appeal.

That's rough, nothing's going to look very aesthetic.
