Are there quality tenants that can fill the space or will you be stuck renting to bad tenants that may trash the place right away.

That said, based on the info provided, and being in So Cal myself, I would replace them all, reframe the Arch out to rectangle keeping the largest opening for light and view purposes, and get a bid on several window manufacturers for best pricing.Design and quality of your finishes will play a big role in your exit value.

Thank you all for the tips.

My biggest problem today is finding quality contractors.

Hey All,The question I have for all you self managing landlords today is, does anyone have any good tips or tricks (I don't mean actually tricking your tenant) into a simple and stress free way of having them sign a new year lease with slight rent increase about 2.5% Ive been doing this for years now and Ive just come to the point where I'm tired of hearing the same old "Oh well we are going to probably be moving" or "This is broke, I need a new stove, bathroom, car..."

Any advice, tips and hints are incredibly appreciated.

I could also consider putting an ad Fee Structure: Property Management Fee:7% of monthly rent collectedLeasing Fee:50% of one month's rent, which includes Free Eviction Protection, a 30-Day Rent Guarantee and a Quality Tenant GuaranteeRenewal Leasing Fee:2% of annual gross renewal rentMaintenance Fee:Billed at invoice cost plus 10% administrative mark-upProperty Setup Fee:NoneMarketing Fee:NoneProject Management Fee:10% of project costs above $5,000

@Tereza Dyerova I run into this issue all the time in Chicago due to the high quality of a lot of the construction of the homes and the high cost to re-build them if they were to be a total loss.

Any difference quality or cost?

This isn't a new topic and while it is still a ways into the future just thought I would share in case it was good information to have...Air Force to study Fort Worth reserve base and three others for placing F-35 squadron
