I have not received their cpa certified books but in their bookeeping they did show they listed out $100k in payroll which seems light.

Everything I do that involves the words "Real Estate,"  Lights a fire inside of me so big I can't focus on anything else.

Is anyone able to shed some light on whether these are good areas in terms of rental demand and rent-to-value ratio? 

If you the landlord have to replace the roof, a/c units, exterior lighting, parking lot reseal and recoat that could be hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost or more.Is this a free standing box or is it wedged in between other stores being sold off more like a retail condo?

It also provides basic pricing ranges and discusses the different factors that influence pricing.Next, I would compile a list of these common repairs into a spreadsheet to help you get organizedOnce you've got your spreadsheet compiled make some trips to Home Depot or Lowes to get a feel for how much materials costs for flooring, tubs, toilets, lighting, etc.As Jim suggested there are good resources for Labor costs such as RS Means, but the best and most accurate source for labor costs is to contact local contractors. 

I have a "light cleaning" rate of $30/hr, which I arbitrarily define as what I do at my house on a Saturday morning, and heavy cleaning, which it sounds like you had to do, rate of $45-55/hr.

The hostility towards Amazon, including the extreme ignorance around tax abatements, is a MASSIVE red flashing light to any other businesses, warning them to stay away from starting or expanding their businesses in NY (I'm talking the entire state).NY is generally business/development unfriendly, this just takes it to the next level.Any company looking to spend capital will certainly not spend the time and money to even consider NY for a short list now.Ocasio and her merry band of communists have just cost this state hundreds of billions in GDP.
