Estimated costs range from $500–$1,000 annually, depending on the complexity of their LLC and rental activity.For Partner 2 ($148K joint income, W-2, 1099 income, 1 rental, 2 kids), a CPA is strongly recommended.

A good condo board should be saving money for larger projects as they are known in advance (eg every 25 years you need a new roof). 

Hi Chani, These fees seem a bit high to me, specifically the leasing fee, on-boarding fee, Multiple quotes requests, HVAC filter supply, early termination fee, vacant property termination fee, and transfer to another manager fee. 

If a contactor is replacing only the decking (boards you walk on) $12k is a ripoff.

The local who lives there but commutes 30-60 min to another community because they can’t find a job to support their family in their town.That same local knows that a 4plex would be great on that lot that’s been vacant for 20 years and that there are at least 4 families who could benefit greatly from that development.That local knows that Ryan’s plumbing and Katie’s electrical companies that service 75% of the town really needs a new flex space to use as a shop, storage, and parking for their business so that they aren’t working out of their garage and can hire a couple of locals to work with them at the office and in the field.Development is different in our small towns but if locals aren’t the ones doing it, and developers aren’t coming, what happens to our kids futures?

Working in a busy property management company, I'm often asked for advice on camera and alarm systems, and in rougher neighborhoods sometimes it can be a toss-up on whether to keep a property boarded-up between showings.
