As mentioned above, the builder is just going to complete any necessary corrective work as part of their pre-close punchlist.Here is an exact quote from one of my builders (49-unit townhome project) from a couple of weeks ago on the topic of third-party inspections:"•We will solve items that fall under the category of our Fit and Finish Warranty or any life-safety issues •Cosmetic or "recommended" items from the inspector may not be considered and are subject to Builder review and discretion."

Then charge her pet fees, pet rent, additional deposit and additional rent for the extra people and demand a 2 year or longer lease.Then you can get them a second room and find a place that allows dogs.Red roof Inn is cheap.Maybe just do a couple nights while the bathroom is being redone and have contractor work around them for the other stuff Tell the contractor you'll give him a bonus if he can work longer days and finish sooner.

-Will activate heloc, seasoned the funds 3 months in external account, then go buy more properties.Overall need clarity on best way to fulfill these Business / Personal status/goals moving forward.While I hopefully build a relationship with some of you and get some answers, I am actively moving forward with the personal side of things and get the ball rolling on the heloc.Just need the categories I can run own accounts and hand over organized expenses, etc. what ever makes it smoother for the CPA.

If it gets to 77 or 78, that's a bonus.  

It simplifies the CRM into categories for buyers and sellers, though its app is somewhat lacking.

My entire staff is trained on how to deal with this subject as it is a growing category.

@Robert Rixer, I don't know how creative these are, as many are common plays:Valet TrashFencing in first floor yardsProviding washer and dryers for added rentReserved, Covered parkingTech PackagesInternet and Cable contracts, with reimbursementsPayment Plan rents, with small service charge (i.e. bill 1/4 rent each week)Reserved Rental cabanas at poolPrivate pool party rental optionGolf Simulator in clubhouse - fee basedOn site, self serve car wash (quarter feeder style)Charged group fitness/personal training servicesGame room in clubhouse with monthly subscription for tenants (Xbox, Playstation, etc)Changing out high maintenance grass for astro turf or lower maintenance/lower water use shrubberyBut ultimately, I think a lot of NOI increases come from deep dive into understanding EVERY expense and finding ways to minimize them, and/or no outsource them.Train maintenance team on basic HVAC and appliance repairs (find way to get them licensed as needed)Buy paint sprayers for faster, easier turns versus having to hire a contract painter, and possibly repaint whole unit each timeStandardize all finishes, so you can buy in bulk, everything from hinges and door knobs to cabinets, paint colors, and light fixtures.Potentially get leasing people onto lower base salary with higher bonus potentialBulk/bundled insurance across portfolio (even better at scale is to self insure)Regularly test sprinkler systems for leaks.Non-NOI, but benefit to you: partner with insurance agency to get referral kickbacks from your tenant base for renter insurance.  

I see you can do an individual search through case numbers/categories.

Bonus, get the points from Lowes or HomeDepot.

A bookkeeping professional will "translate" the PM's data into your master accounting platform each month so all of those transactions are accounted for.This allows you to see how your business(es) as a whole is doing financially in addition to how each property is doing.We actually catch a lot of mistakes doing this for our Clients as an added bonus.
