I’d love to hear from those who have flipped in New York—what unexpected costs should I prepare for?

I wouldn’t think your tenant should be washing the dog all that often and if they are I’d have to wonder why.

We do tend to know what appropriate rents are for the different times of year, although you can't hold to those permanently. 

Hi @KeAnna Dakwa,I'd recommend looking into the forums for the BRRRR strategy.

If you are looking to pull more cash out I'd go with the second option.

I'd be heavily focused on mitigating that future tax liabilty rather than directly supplementing that income.

A few tips I’d recommend as you get started:Build a solid buyer’s list early on.

In the event you do have to pay for the repair (although I would heavily contest this with the contractor) I think its fair to charge the tenants with an explanation that you did incur damages for the repair although you previously believed that you would not 

I'd expect delivery, install and removal of the units at the price point I noted above.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and any advice you can share.
