The answer here is with the nature of what we do – we are real estate investors.

Good morning all,I’m a landlord in New York City and would like to know how to move forward if tenants are damaging the apartment.As the landlord, I understand that if the stove stops working I have to get it repaired or changed but what if the damage isn’t natural?

I know sometimes they get characterized and grouped together, but this would be very different with the schedule C and active nature of what I'm planning to do.

I would caution on the tax treatment of STRs.

Confused because DSCR by nature looks at the income the property is generating and not your personal income or credit I believe. 

Also, avoid issues with city and S8 inspections.3) Marketing Impact - a purple bedroom doesn't need painting, but usually has to be done to attract a tenant.4) Miscellaneous - anything that doesn't meet one of the above criteria.By logically breaking these down for our owner clients, we help them make better decisions on "repairing to their budget" and avoid over-repairing or being a slumlord.Suggest you use this approach with your PMC to address the $22k bid.Lstly, how many bids did your PMC send you regarding the $2k pest treatments?

For some people this comes naturally but everyone can learn it. 

But I am not convinced and think that the world the technocrats want to build is not compatible with human nature and our purpose for being here in the first place. 

@Martin NestaI don't have much info for you - but I do know the 'nature of the beast' I can share with you... perhaps something will help...Most property tax "just values" in Florida - the value they say your property is worth - are intentionally set about 15-20% below market value.  

So if the landlord only owns one four-plex, or two duplexes, or a single and triplex, and the landlord is a natural person (not a corporation or partnership), or the landlord is an LLC in which all members are natural persons (no corporate or partnership members in the LLC), the landlord can still require two month’s rent as security deposit.So for those CA investors who invest in properties with four rentals or less, and place each rental property into its own LLC, and the LLC members are all natural persons, those investors can continue to require two month’s rent as security deposit.
