Has anyone had to challenge them for shoddy rehab work and tested the 1 year guarantee for defects and materials?

We plan to go with a BRRRR strategy using quality but not luxury materials, so hopefully can attract good blue-collar tenants.Seems like the property manager is really key, both to maintaining the rental certification and to screening for quality tenants.

Based on his conduct, your hassel, your time, work and materials, you having to protect your interests and limit your potential liability, half is not out of the question in my mind!

However, if there is on-site management, it may be difficult for the taxpayer to materially participate because: 1.

We are paying for the materials anyways so may as well get the points and rewards from the card!

We charge it at closing.However with out of state investors we collect a retainer fee up front.

Even though the project took about twice as long as I expected, the experience I gained and the general understandings I learned about organizing remodel projects, working with contractors, designing spaces, purchasing materials, and more was more than worth the lost time. 

Common fees will include a set-up fee, leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

A big challenge was sourcing materials for items we were doing ourselves, due to COVID delays and significant price increases.

I don't think it will have a material impact though unless you're in an area that would be particularly hard hit.
