Your best bet would be to connect with landlords in regions you're interested in and put together a takeoff of big ticket items.

I guess having a local warehouse will save on shipping, assuming I can find a truck :) But the big box store truck rental will be a lot less for a few hours than shipping costs on heavy flooring.

Are you sure the seller is obligated to fix the items you found in your walk through, or is it that you Want them fixed?

Well you had to be a RE professional to take the deduction and or use the new build in your trade or business IE car deal builds new store he got 50% write off..

I am trying to evaluate the financials of an HOA community and I was wondering if anyone has a rule of thumb for cash reserves or any other items that could be a red flag to investors?

It doesn't sound like all stores are closing they are just weeding down to the most profitable and promising ones.Albertsons closings

You'll need to hire outside vendors for these items.

@Jay Hinrichs , so you're saying we should invest and open a home improvement store :)

I'm in the process of purchasing a 2 family with a detached two car garage that is currently rented to an older guy, separately from either residence.The place is only for storage.Absolutely no working on cars or running a business out of.No storing hazardous material or illegal goings on.Not in any way responsible for damage due to environmental conditionsTenant is responsible for securing his propertyOnly allowed to access the space between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM - so as not to disturb tenants.The gentleman seems to be a hoarder and is in his 70s.

I then came in to correct all those items.
