They want at least all new appliances including wash machine and drier.

During the time you live there, you could add value (in unit laundry, foot print reconfiguration, and cosmetic updates).

Furthermore, the HOA dues were used to provide services, I wouldn't have had time to perform myself: Landscaping, roof replacement, gutter cleaning, power washing, ... etc.

After you file the claim, you wash your hands of it.

Owner saw me renovating and wanted out. was a rundown illegal duplex. gutted everything, rebuilt 2 beautiful apartments. 3 bed upstairs. 2 bed downstairs.seperate laundry, granite countertops and big windows . spent 70$k to renovate everything. nicest reno I had ever done. 2 weeks after my basement tenant moved it, the street flooded and my basement apartment was destroyed.

. $100 will buy you a boat load of TP, paper towels, laundry detergent, hair/ body wash, cleaning supplies, and maybe an extra towel or two as they slowly get ruined.

We’re using Jet Lending for 3 months, and we expect the ARV to be 140k after about 9k worth of work - paint the porch, pressure wash siding, new laminate in bathroom in addition to wall.

It would give them the opportunity to brain wash you, whip you up into an irrational frenzy and get you to spend money you never intend to spend.

I would just like additional comfortable living space down there, and probably a sectioned off area for the laundry, etc.   

Thanks Ujwal,Most of the SFHs have laundry but many condos don't.
