I have a good tenant in my two family rental in Astoria queens Ny  the air conditioning unit which is in a wall sleeve has stopped working    the air conditioner was left by a previous tenant however the  current tenant is under the assumption that  it is my responsibility now to repair or replace it I politely told him nothey’ve been there for 2 years without any increase for $2300 a month which includes a parking space valued between 150/ $200 month, includes Heat and cooking gas …a $40-50 mo savings for them comparable Apts listed for $2995/mo, plus utilities  and $150/200 mo for parkingAny advice on how to handle?

Anyway, like to have more $$$ for the nicer things for the family, it makes life a little easier.Like Forest Gump says "One less thing to worry about"BUT, I got FIRED up, on our last deal.... my three daughter (two in high school - one in Jr High) rolled their sleeves up and jumped in....

I rolled up my sleeves; figured out what I needed to do to make it work, then I did it.

I also think this is the time to rollup your sleeves and get to work by strategizing how is it that we are going to get this money back wether through legal advise or future litigation.

Looks like this old dawg has a lot more tricks up his sleeve then he lets on.

Lol how about on a sweater you just have BRRRR across both sleeves

Thanks mate, Pat is a top blokeB class is all about perspective heheFolks from Beverly Hills will call of Toledo and the suburbs a C class lolIf moderators allow, here is a detailed breakdown of what I would consider B class - https://ohiocashflow.com/blog/why-ohio-cashflow-buys-in-b-cl...As for "$30,000" properties not being "$30,000" properties due to needing rehab, etc...We are staring to play a game of words then lolThen not a single property ever will be a "$30,000" property due to needing ongoing maintenance along with vacancy which is an opportunity cost, etc... so eventually the cost will be much much higher.So I guess for simplicity purposes, we can use this criteria "Purchase price $30,000" 👍Here are some numbers:Isabella - $36,000Secor - $45,000Vermaas $40,000Wright - $21,000Bowman - $30,000Colburn - $31,000So all in all, we have a demand to meet and I am personally not a fan of doing much rehab work if not needed, so we pay a premium to acquire a property in better condition.Individual folks that want to roll up their sleeves and buy 2-3 per year can find deals even cheaper than the numbers above in my opinion.Thanks

What I’ve learned from actually rolling my sleeves up and working towards something holds 100x the value any book ever could.

After the initial shock, it was time to roll up the sleeves, pucker up, and get this place livable.  

@Ozzy Sirimsi I definitely will be rolling my sleeves up and getting involved.
