They are in rare form this year, really trying to screw residents out of every last penny they can.They are using comps from early 2018 even though their own rules say the effective date is Jan 1st 2019.I showed them comps from November through January of bigger houses (+400-600 sq. ft.) in my neighborhood selling for less ($20-$30K).

Sale price $125,000 I am thinking of offering $60,000Rehab $110,000 it need a new roof and it’s a lot a water damage inside and mold because of it but not all the units are damaged.

The building should be maintained well CAM needs to be done and it needs to look good and be desirable  but taking a C Class to B Class or A Class can be expensive and not worth the costGetting good rents by reasonable improvments that are cost effective in my experience leads to more flow than a total gut. 

I learned this the hard way after half of my copper pipes were stolen, the other half were bent and damaged and one of my brand new windows was smashed in.

I do not know if there is adequate support underneath and that it was installed properly.If it is considered normal wear and tear then can I charge them for the water damage since they didn't report it in a timely manner?

Absentee Owners have been popular for a long time, and are apparently still somewhat effective (people are still mailing to them) but they are getting multiple offers to buy their home.

And, hey, good for you if it closes with minimal brain damage suffered on your part. :)

Not sure if his counterclaim for  $14k in damages (attorney fees and lost rent mostly) was successful though.

A bad review or getting flagged by Airbnb are two scenarios where implementing the back up profile would mitigate the damage.
