(Low VOC Caulk only)(5) No loud music, use earpods only.(6) No personal use of toilet or sinks or tubs in unit.(7) Pour no solids or liquids down toilets, sinks or tubs.(8) Unit must be broom clean at end of job.It's possible trim and doors will last twice as long as wall paint.It's possible painters charge about the same for the trim and doors as the walls.Some painters spray, some brush some roller-- when painting tell adjoining units to close windows ahead of time to prevent dead birds, fish, other pets (or babies)--some primers (and cabinet paint) can be highly toxic and are not low VOC.Good Luck!

So permits, plans, and impact fees are soft costs and those are not included. 

I was more diligent about soft aspects of the interaction when accepting applications.  

Your soft cost ratio will probably be about 30-35% of your hard costs.

BS in Accounting with a minor in Econ and PsychologyBut I'd have to say that college was more of lessons in the soft skills rather than the hard.

So we go to the wilderness to a secluded beach (our normal route)... but as we fly through the brush, on a HOT curacaoan day... the horses get thirsty and tired. 

It is important you brush up on it. 

I give my opinion as a construction lender, many new investors come to me with deals where they can't get off the ground because of the soft costs and lack of capital & experience to start the project even if they own the land. 

Never used it.Are you brushing, rolling or spraying?

The one thing I will do to my units to make them more attractive to tenants is I will spend a little bit extra to put in slightly (but not extravagantly) nicer finishes ... things like brushed nickle hardware instead of brass or chrome, laminate floors instead of carpets, etc. and keep my units in good condition ... therefore, even if I charge market rent it is a good deal since my units have slightly nicer finishes ... if I take pride in my units and they are in good locations, then I find it will attract quality tenants who will also take care of my units, and no they do not leave when I raise rents up to the max the market will bear.
