@Isadore Nelson yes, I know someone that recently paid $500k to get a longtime rent controlled tenant out of a Carroll Gardens Brownstone.

go to Home Depot, talk to some general contractors, join your local Facebook and meetup groups and start getting good ranges for every major item.

Orchids in our orchid gardens are flowering.  

I like to garden in my free time, this summer i noticed how much we saved with the garden and I've been watching more videos on personal finance.

Hey Nick, I'm currently in escrow on a property in the Gardens.

Anything over that could mean that the property is overstaffed, or it could mean that management is delivering a very high level of service such as in a luxury property that has a doorman and all sorts of staff that you don't typically see in garden style apartments.

Checking Home Depot, it looks like parts would be $30 or less.

A couple expense assumptions:Insurance: .6% of market value per year ($1300 to $1700 for garden variety SFH)Repair buffer: $50/moPM: 8% of gross rent + 80% of first months rent HOA: Ranges from $0 to $50/mo.

I ended up buying a whole new set of chairs for the dining table at Home Depot. 

Is there something better than just going to home depot?
