(well, maybe in ten years :oops: ) Brand new carpet, brand new double pane low E windows, doors, etc..Most of the wiring and plumbing is even new.

The kitchens (which are small) need cabinets, counter-tops, sinks, flooring etc...I figured 5k per apartment on low side, and 7-9k on high side if we run into plumbing issues or something unforseen.

moments about being a Landlord... and would love to hear stories/experiences from other self-managing LandlordsMurphy's Law #1Your best tenant will get a job transfer during the worst rental market of the decade.Murphy's Law #2 When a tenant attempts to fix the leaky tap himself, expect to not only replace the tap but the entire plumbing system too.Murphy's Law #3A tenant's uncanny ability to see dirt and damage will be much greater when they move in than when they move out.Murphy's Law #4When a tenant calls and says "Hi, how's it going?"

He told me to call the plumbing co, they might be interested in fixing the violations before his report gets too far.

All thats left that needs to be done is flooring, paint, appliances, furnace, some plumbing, sinks, etc.

So, I can quickly estimate the cost to replace flooring in a house.SImilarly, I know the labor prices for installation of my lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, HVAC, cabinets, countertops, appliances, roofing, painting, carpentry, etc.

I mean…all the floors need to be replaced and copper is gone…so all new plumbing, electric is a mess…you kind of wonder…what did they do there?

This was after the plumbing was stolen a few months ago after the 5th prospective buyers financing fell through!

what about elec and plumbing?

I LOVE working on my places to get them prepped for rent, tiling, plumbing ext.
