20 February 2018 | 8 replies
Request the tenants leave, flip to 3 bedroom, and rent to new tenants at $986If I convert from 2 BR to a 3 BR, I've calculated a payback period of 2.3 years... here's the high-level of how I came to that number:Annual Opportunity Cost:3 BR vs 2 BR Rent = $2,790My Time (expect less needy tenants) = $1,183TOTAL OPPT COST= $3,973 <-- This is a favorable numberCost to get unit ready as 3 BRTotal to flip = $7,551 (includes paint, new floors, converting basement to bedroom, etc) 2 Months lost rent = $1,510 TOTAL UPFRONT COSTS $9,061 <-- This is an unfavorable numberPayback Period = $9,061 / $3,973 = 2.3 years (Note if I'm conservative in my nubers, this becomes 3 years)Couple more things to note, they're set up on re-occurring payments and have not missed a payment.

Inherited tenants and "Property Manager"
20 February 2018 | 3 replies
Feels like there's a soft agreement between this couple and the owner.I spoke with all other tenants privately and they seem to be very happy with the current non-property-manager.I like the idea of resident lawn care, but am concerned about legality of a resident property manager (I'm new to this and not ready for employees on a small triplex).
