Then he kept putting me off for two months before bailing altogether, forcing us to figure out the painting ourselves, and delaying our getting the house on the market an extra two months (two others sold in our neighborhood in the meantime, and by the time we got it listed, Covid hit).

I do have a couple houses where the floors are not totally flat.

However, the flat rates are just like bumping the rent (ie if Tenant A runs water all day and night and Tenant B uses none - They pay the same).

Its just uncommon in our area to flat out back out and not negotiate.

Might be opportunities in the wide-flat enormous valley, I live in, here in Idaho, for Rental house=trailers, on city lots.

Many Philly houses require cosmetic updates because they are just flat out old.

As others have said, even if you are paying the water/sewer bill (yes this is common), you can add a flat fee to the lease to offset that expense.

I just keep getting hung up on the 20% as I'm new to the game comparing to my stock portfolio that is now just back to flat for the year.
