In some cases this was impossible (foundation elevations for revised flood elevations) or impractical since it would involve almost total demo.

Estimated rehab costs, again at worst case, total ~50000.Exterior costs, including gutters, soffit, siding, landscaping, and concrete repais, all minor, total ~3000Interior gut and refinish, including demo, drywall, insulation, baseboards, paint, doors, total ~10000Replacing HVAC components ~7000Kitchen Remodel, including appliances, cabinets, floors, and countertops, total ~9000Bathroom remodel, including vanity, tub, floors, total ~2000Mold Remediation in HVAC ductwork ~5000Dewatering issues ~5000Misc. costs and overages ~ 10000What do you all think?  

Even if you have to pay out of pocket (after closing costs), at least you won't be $200-$1,000 behind each month just on the mortgage, even before accounting for maintenance and repairs...Note- if the garage is falling down, I vote for demo.  

Also the re-installing toilets (removed for tile demo), and hooking up dishwasher must be done by a licensed plumber/electrician.  

A retail price sounds like lot value minus demo costs.

I hired a demo company to get things moving they charged 2400, pricey but they sent out an experienced crew of young guys and we got most of our demo work done in 3 days.  

Did an AppFolio demo today and love it (despite cost of 200/mo).  

I did attend demo's for Propertyware, Rent Manager, Yardi - most of these are not that user friendly although they are bit more flexible in-terms of providing custom functionality, but get's expensive with all those optional modules!

I am doing a lot of demo work myself to save on costs (I have the time).

I chose a contractor who could do the turnkey himself.so why is this in the lazy landlord section.because you can do things to help reduce cost .and still be lazy.you  can do any demo work that needs to be done.
