When I see rust eating at welds like this I wonder how much of the problem comes from the management company (Rust never sleeps).A maintenance tech scheduled for some time with a wire brush and some Rustoleum could have saved this expensive cement tread stairway.Now it a welder (if it's salvageable) and the Rustolem, plus the cost to construct that ugly unpainted wood bridging system, and tear it down.And despite all of the drama that's going on, Mrs Kitty still has her favorite spot in the shade next to her food and water--a natural foe to garbage rats.

how do i get an accurate or in the ballpark number if im self managing and its my first time No, insurance doesn't cover routine wear and tear.

There is going to be wear & tear that is really driven by the age of the property and the type of tenants, not necessarily by the rehab that was done.

Tenant must deliver possession on last day of lease in same condition as rented, normal wear and tear excepted.

Sold over $100M in real estate & built a team only to tear it all down and be basically solo again.2.

Purchase price: $850,000 Cash invested: $82,000 Sale price: $1,305,000 This was a 2015 tear down and build.

You will want to make sure you are not over improving them because they will likely get more wear and tear than an average house, but to code, very clean, and safe!

I was about to start the process to get a retroactive permit but realized the additional cost of a new exterior stairwell (metal) and architecture fees is almost 30kIm starting to weigh the options of either full tear down with a new 4 unit construction or separate building in the front of property (current is set back thus the extra costs to permit)  or adding a 2 story 2 unit addition connecting to the old propertysorry this post has become 2 ideas i need advice onif it deconvert can i use it as an inlaw suite with 2nd floor unit or a duplex up. 

I'm thinking I keep them rented and one day possibly tear down the flood buildings and build up a new building.

(Maybe more, but I can only speak to the time I've been here)  Lots of gentrification, tear downs/new builds, etc.
