My wife is my translator in this case and she failed to tell them...In any case, this is my plan.

Having a bit of trouble finding one that I think has a reasonable grasp on the market as it relates to rehabs and what translates to a deal.

Also, the kitchen area is small so we didn't think that the granite countertops would translate into much of an increase in the rental rate.

In that case, you lose.Basically - just like being a renter in SF, it becomes sort of a roll of the dice whether AB284 is a good or bad thing for you as an individual.I won't comment on whether there is or is not political will to alter the law in 2013.

You could alter your current lease with them to a base plus sales model for a certain period of time and then it reverts back to the old model.What you really need to do is figure out what the lease rate is in today's market for that space and how much it would cost you to get them out and rent it to someone else.Just like a lender if it is a temporary problem then work with them.If their books show otherwise and they are in trouble the writing is on the wall.Go ahead and get them out and get someone else in before the Holidays.

Usually you notify the judge of the default and go for granting of the dispossession.It depends on how the mediator wrote up the agreement.If you alter the agreement or accept partial payment instead of the payment amount listed they could make you start over.You can write a letter to the judge in unusually circumstances.Another one for you is after you get the writ the Marshall will call eventually.Whatever time you give them make sure you stick to it.They will not do a reschedule and you will need to start over again.If ti is raining on the day of the scheduled eviction then the marshal will reschedule a time to get the tenant out (few days maybe).Eviction court is only held certain days of the week in Fulton county.If you are unsure of something call in to dispossesory and they love to help but cannot give legal advice.

Don’t forget to include permits / alterations req for making the apartment legal.

Since you’ll be trading time for money (part of the value of a PM) you need to look at 1.) the prevailing rate and 2.) what that translates to in real dollars when you look at collected rents.

Maybe something is getting lost in translation during the conversation?

Will you stick to your original plan, alter the plan, or scrap the idea and find something else?
