It's much easier for you and the tenant to replace flooring between tenants especially if you are going to polish or refinish hardwood. 

The sticks and nails cost more to builld homes than the homes were selling for after that crash.

Also - the thread Ryan was referring to is: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/522/topics/52...Please feel free to reach out with any other questions, but Ryan NAILEd the right way to buy in Indy!

@Harsh Patel , @Jay Hinrichs nailed it, as usual - if a provider uses 'used car salesman' tactics and 'scarcity' language, it's time to run!

@Mary B. our title guy was invaluable in nailing the mixed use commercial.

B" Tenant = Decent Credit, Pays on time most of the time, doesn't completely destroy the house"C" Tenant = Bumpy Credit, When rent is due you're biting your nails wondering if the payment is coming, you have to occasionally keep them in line and they require more interaction"D" Tenant = No thanks......

., I think you nailed it: the TENANT BASE in Boston has low expectations, so even low quality buildings fetch great returns.

Curious where you got the water and heat numbers, they seem kinda low, unless thats per unit. if the siding is slate asbestos, going over it is generally not an option because when a nail is driven through, it will break and fall behind the vinyl, now do this all the way up and you have a big problem. 

So due to this recent windstorm in our area, 2-3 shingles are missing from my roof.Similarly, this corner board has come loose from the siding and needs to be screwed/nailed back and caulked.Question is, we are expecting some rain later part of this week.

The cost of goods from lumber, to paint, to nails, to singles...all are up.
