Similar situation happening to me in Birmingham, AL. basically quoting 6,000 for a variety of things that end up being sheetrock repair in 3 places, paint the entire house, remove garbage and mow the lawn.

Sounds a lot like 2006/2007 MBS illusions and garbage)Does that sound accurate?

The ones who only have a few hundred bucks on the line will just leave garbage and dirty & trash it cause it's usually not worth their time to get $500 back or care how they take care of it. 

Flippers just cover up the old garbage instead of removing it. 

So much absolute garbage on the market now that Columbus real estate went bananas. 

Main difference is one quadplex comes with an HOA that covers water, sewer, garbage, exterior building maintenance, and building insurance.

I deleted all the Quickbooks garbage and would load the chart of accounts I wanted.I do agree with you that the cost segregation isn't worth it, at least not until you are a Real Estate Professional.   

More than half have dishwashers, and we eliminate garbage disposal is most cases.For small apt units we supply frig and range.For luxury houses or condos we supply more appliances.Often times former tenants or former owners have left appliances, we have in the lease that we will NOT repair or replace any of those appliances, but will remove at the tenant's request.Around here the appliance repair service call is $60 before getting in the door and time & materials thereafter.Sometimes we buy used appliances from appliance stores.

Maybe folks will realize REI is actually work and all this garbage marketing will wash itself out.Wishful thinking on that last part but, hey... a guy can dream.

Here the LL pays water/sewer/garbage on multi's.
