I bought a two flat with some pre-existing tenants.

Almost all charge you 5, 6 and even 10 (yes, 10) percent of the property's purchased price and a few charge you a flat rate.

Hoping is can get some high level feedback on how serious an issue this is for a) future re-sale, and b) risk of additional capital costs or structural repairs- Building was purpose built in the 70's with 3, 2 bedroom apartments stacked on-top another over a flat roof- Units were renovated in 2017 and show a noticeable but not crazy slope in parts of the floor plate towards the centre of the property.   

Hello all, we are thinking about adding a rooftop terrace or patio to the flat roof.

May move back to Tampa, FL at some point so would love to start expanding my network again in FL.

The last time inventory was that low was in December 2014;-Townhome/condominium sales jumped 21.3 percent, with the average price up 7.0 percent to $214,337 and the median price up 4.4 percent to $177,500;-Single-family home rentals were down 3.9 percent with the average rent up 5.5 percent to $1,940;-Townhome/condominium leases were flat with the average rent up 6.5 percent to $1,690.

We will be living in the garage unit for a couple years, but eventually we will have it managed by someone else and will not be able to be as hands on with billing utilities.Are there any other options than to just charge a flat rate for utilities?

I was very accommodating so they didnt smash a hole in every dry wall panel on their way out.

The owner captures all of the equity.While this may seem complicated, you can also try to visualize a flat annual expense against an asset growing at an exponential rate.
