Firstly, co-ops are typically not friendly to investors.

Insurances are typically higher in OP also.Lawn care can add up quickly in the spring and summer when grass needs to be cut weekly.

Added 2nd set of coin-op laundry and upgrading units gradually over time.

Of course you did nothing wrong.Well except for paying up front for work that was not yet done....a major faux pas and a large part of the problem....if she hadn't done that we wouldn't be having this conversation.....OP, They are not going to sue you or take you to court.

However, the OP said he don't want to take care of it anymore because of high maintenance then selling for him is probably a better choice.

Is buying a small condo/co-op a better option than simply renting out an apartment?

Its this black and white.3) the LLC op agreement needs to provide for payment for who does the work. 

They don’t come up often, but turnkey duplexes will pop up in burbs with high rated school districts and strong property values (liberty mo, OP, Shawnee, lees summit, etc).

So I am getting ready to start my investment journey which includes relocating from NY to FL but I am also in the process of selling my co-op.

With a unit already furnished from prior short term situation I am curious as to your exp and op on if furnishing is good or bad...your pros or cons here?
