There are lots of proformas for free online.Basically like any business, your profit is Net Income - Net Expenses.So what you can rent the condo for minus mortgage,HOA, insurance, estimated vacancy, wear and tear, and any other expenses.With many condo deals, the HOA cost vastly hurts its profitability as a cash flowing rental.

That makes much more sense.There are a lot of rules regarding ADU's including, but not limited to set backs (4' from rear and side), height restrictions (16'), size (max is 1200 but main house can not be smaller than ADU), parking (no covered or non covered parking is required to be added if you use the existing garage for your ADU so long as you are within range of public transport), renting (there are no longer requirements of owner occupancy of main house to rent out ADU (except for Junior ADU's), you CAN use tiny homes and prefabs as ADU's, if the detached garage is on the property line or inside the required 4' set back, you do NOT need to tear that down and if you do tear down the wall on or near the property line of the garage, you can rebuild it in its same location (prior years laws required you to then build outside the 4' set back), multi family properties are allowed 2 ADU's to be added plus you can convert non livable existing space into livable if you meet fire codes, and the list goes on.Another big benefit to the new laws is that if you keep the ADU at 750 sf or less, you avoid impact fees from the city keeping your permit costs down.There are a ton of other build out questions like costs of design/structural engineering, permit fees, etc.

I try to be selective on the dogs living in the houses to try to keep the ware and tear down but “Cascade H2O” laminate just doesn’t seem to hold up with dogs.

I go over help plant a garden his dog is tearing some stuff up I will make him pay for it when he leaves .

Then the usual New England story: spent a lot of time and money trying to figure out how to fix the house, but everything feel through, and now we're going to tear it down.

The tenant was responsible to surrender the property "in as good condition as received normal wear and tear accepted".  

Well it is a 2 unit with 2 b/1 b property. have a lot to do with it, fully rehab project but might be a tear down..Still thinking.Did reduce the rental cost, wasn't correct at the first place.

I agree with the above - if this was a brand new toilet, potentially charge - but take into consideration normal wear and tear (although it is an odd thing to have break!).

I could only find one chimney contractor in Dallas, they gave me a bid recommending to tear down and replace with cement board.

Now, upon walk through, there was excessive wear and tear.
