Tenant is always polite, cooperative, pays on time and keeps the apartment well.

Just be careful, you don't want to find out half way through the job that he didn't know what he walk taking about.Watch out for lead pipes, leaking main lines, plumbing that goes from galvanized, to cooper, to pex, knob and tube wiring...etc...These things will turn your investment upside down. 

I guess I wasn’t expecting a cakewalk, but was hoping for some cooperation (from the tenants), which so far I’m not getting so I’ll likely end up following your recommendation. 

It is spelled out in the MLS--cooperation and compensation.).

I would hold this investment for a couple of years regardless but my fears are that I will not be able to find cooperative tenants and that rent prices will come down too much for me to support the mortgage and whatever expenses I pay.

The cooperative has about 7 million in debt that is due 2024.

Hey @Austin Cooper, good question. 

@Milo Milosovic There is no harm in looking for some cooperation between tenants.

@Nick Louie You can try to negotiate any terms you want, but don't be surprised if the seller thinks your offer isn't worth the extra hassle and backs out.In my opinion, you're better off asking for the standard "broom clean" and factoring in the cost for a professional deep cleaning.In a hot seller's market, your strategy should be to be as pleasant and cooperative as possible.
