Another item to add is the cost of utilities and lawn care during vacancies.Hope this helps.

But, truth be told - I provide those last items because it makes the property more rentable, not because I think people need/deserve a disposal in their sink.

When making my shopping list out, I use this technique to note the aisle number where I can find it item.

The only exception is the HVAC/roof; if these items are half or less of their expected manufacturer lifespan it would be worth it.

Part of my business model involves capturing the commission on the buy/sell.

Often sellers will say rents can be raised and attempt to capture the assumed value of the property as if it had higher rents.

Duplexes tend to fit this bill more frequently but in my mind the more units the better after you have the above items.

If 'yes', then the company should also provide a scope of treatment and protocol sheet for the owner and/or occupant.You have multiple things going for you: 1) place is empty, so treatment is ideal, 2) you don't own it yet, so your up-front cost of detection is minimal, 3) it's not move in ready so the BB issue is not a gating item, 4) your treatment will be effective since you (not a tenant) control all the variables.Regarding canine services, I'd not employ this detection method for a duplex for one primary reason: expense.

I am lucky in that my parents invest, so I have been able to watch their processes and help with various items.

The same applies to every major item at the property.
