I would keep and organize all of your communication around this issue, including gathering pictures of the unit and the area in question that was repaired.

Further, we need to account for a $10k “reserve” for what will be repairs / maintenance as the property ages.  

Focus on building a network of contractors for repairs, set clear boundaries for house hacking, and take advantage of tax benefits.

Also, they will NOT stop paying UNLESS you do not do the repairs in the time allotted.

Yes, if you are confident in your numbers....particularly the repair/reno numbers. $20k is not much and will be eaten up real quick.

I did this to build rapport I did not need to do this since my landlord in my lease is responsible for all repairs that are not caused directly by me or my guests.

Your income is Sales priceLess Purchase PriceLess Costs to sell propertyLess renovations/repairs/holding costs.You mentioned having partners. 

You'll likely have inspection related repairs every year.

if there is lots of interest, they can say to you "that's a nice list of 'issues' your inspector found - give me asking price, or find another property. i'm not making any repairs or lowering the price."

(My contractor often just answers these calls and makes the necessary repairs without me ever knowing).
