Because after we had the water turned on it began to rain from the livingroom ceiling.

If you have walls and or ceilings to patch get going on that right away, then prime and paint EVERYTHING you can, if you are doing your own painting and planning on doing multiple projects get a good airless sprayer, you can prime and paint an entire empty house yourself in 1 long day.

As such, having granite countertops, higher end carpet, multi paint colors, lush landscaping, new kicthen appliances (stainless steel), mirror sliding closet doors, ceiling fans, recess lighting, etc. all cost money but get high returns in my area.One other note: Because I complete higher end quality rehabs, my time on market before accepted offer averages under 14 days!

Also, immediately after closing we are going to repair a few small ticket items that are needed in order to obtain an updated Certificate of Occupancy from the City (CO detectors, broken window, fire seal a few voids in ceilings…) We hope that this will show our desire to improve the building and that we are professional.After the dust settles and the 1st payment period passes (hopefully everyone pays on time that first month and we won't need to issue notices to vacate or evictions) we are going to send our leases with a notice of increase of rent (we will be giving them 60 day notices and they are all month to month).

You need to think hard about what it's going to take to put those beams in, and what sort of damage you're going to have to repair after you've fixed the foundation.By the time you do all that, you may be talking about considerable flooring, wall, and ceiling repairs.

Josh,Most cost are plumbing, paints, sometimes roof repair, ceiling fans, electrical work.

I need to get inside to do repairs on kit ceiling that i think water is coming in but tenant has refused.I have gave her notice 48hrs,can i just enter to do repairs as damage could happen from water infultration?

. - All new carpet, and refinish hardwood floors - Touch up nicks and holes in the walls and ceilings - Paint the entire interior - all new light fixtures - LandscapingMuch of the work I could and would do myself except for the flooring and painting.

There will be ceiling repair, and if they can't get out before more damage from more rain, that's covered, too...And I don't know how how much my ins will go up with this claim, if it's worth it or not.ofgift

When there are issues found (title issues, water marks on the baseboard in the cellar or on ceiling tiles, inefficient power, zoning, repairs, lead paint certificate ---- etc. these are leveraging issue in your favor.What do you want -?
