Fellow BPers,A2Z has been a breath of fresh air compared to my previous property manager, so far so good!

With slapping a fresh coat of paint of the decks I think it could be a very marketable rental.

Anyways so what Natalie said up there is just its a temporary exemption on 6+ freshly planted fruit trees intended to not tax you for improvements (Fruits trees) before they produce.

It costs you vacancy, fresh paint, new flooring, potentially other updates. 

@Kim Durst Actually, as long as the cash out of pocket as opposed to it being baked in the price is not a problem….I would Much prefer to take the price reduction and fix it myself.

If, however, you are starting out fresh, and it is appearing as a new listing with no reviews, you could market it that way by taking fresh photos and giving it a face lift with the summary calling out that it is a new listing.

If no, give them notice, recoup what you can from their deposit, fix the unit, and start fresh with a new tenant.

Between the market rate of the services I offer and at least several months of holding costs I can eliminate, I know that I can bake some legitimate value to a deal however I have no direct experience packaging that value way that could help secure financing.And that’s essentially where my research is currently focused!

Your comments as a relative newcomer but with two behind you is fresh and very helpful.

Do I just cut ties and get her out to start fresh with a new paying tenant?
