The person who should be designating what maintenance needs to be done, when, and by whom, is you.

They can hopefully confirm what their real fees are and maybe help you find a better option.https://nan-amc.com/contact-us...I would also ask the lender in writing directly, "Are you marking up the appraisal cost or getting a kick back payment?"

Generally people text us notice and we ask them to follow that up with email or regular mail confirming.  

BTW, Theres paint shortages so confirm that they have a good source even SW has been tight on some of their products.

The HVAC ducts were designed badly and because this was built in the 90s there are no dedicated air return grilles.

We’re analyzing properties right now with the idea of some immediate capital growth (fix/flip)(BRRRR), and long term looking at value add plays on existing structure or ground up on infill lots we can either buy or become land partners with the owners on.My focus is building, design, buy/sell, project management.  

I'd come up with all your own assumptions to generate a purchase price. get it under contract, then confirm (via Ptax statements as noted below), your assumptions, if something is off, thats reason to kill the deal.This shouldn't cause so much headache for you, just fire off the NOI and see what happens.

In our experience, the #1 mistake landlords make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.

If designed correctly, the loft floor joists could act as a big Collar-Tie.

You can certainly post here if you like but the whole BRRRR strategy is designed to make money.
