You can view my live rehab budget spreadsheet as I renovate here if you're interested in following along I'll be posting @LearningToDIY on instagram too https://biggerpockets.notion.site/Rene-s-Renovation-Budget-T...

Quote from @Kar Sun: My tenant's lease is coming to a close and I am relieved she will be moving soon.She has been paying on time but has been extremely unpleasant and rude.While the money does not smell my mental sanity is more important than money in this case.She sent me a registered letter stating that she feels "unsafe because we have not done the fixes the way she wanted it".She requests to have her witness for a walkthrough.In my state a walkthrough is required but I am not about to grant it to her to bring any witnesses as that is not in my contract.If she feels unsafe she does not have t be present.I also do not treat a final walkthrough with a tenant as a final sign off.This walkthrough does not include a detailed inspection of the plumbing and the appliances that will be done after she departs.This is simply for the visible cosmetic issues and should take less than 1 hr.  

A big part of succeeding in this game is simply staying in the game.Make sure to take the lessons from this experience so it’s not in vain:•Always keep reserves.

They simply use the purchase price as the new assessed value for the property.Has anyone ever been asked of this from LA County?

And even the ones that raise more often only do so several times during the year and many times there is nothing available.So even if you had such a list, it is not really useful in deploying money in the real world.A more practical approach is to see which offerings are currently available and simply scan them to see if they match your criteria or not.

Why not simply put that extra money in reserve savings for a rainy day then?!?

T/C, J/T, TbyE, the solution is the same... and the solution is to get the missing owner(s) to sign the easement agreement. 

More likely scenario is simply squatters who are gonna ride this out till the eviction goes through.

@Lauren Cutchen, I have not had this happen but I would think you could simply buff the scratches out of the stainless steel.

There seems to be a belief throughout this thread that its alright for a city employee to come onto your property and simply lie about item after item and then send a written agreement in direct contrast expecting you to sign and return it.
