The Lease needs to be clear in its definition of what you are trying to accomplish here which is that the Tenant pays for all of the operating and maintenance expenses of the property.In addition be sure to include an understanding of who pays for major capital replacements (not just maintenance) such as replacement of the heating and air-conditioning units, water and sewer lines, electrical mains, roofs, glass, etc.

To sell in a rising market means that replacement properties can be scarcer and more expensive.  

I have a relatively large backyard and I have asked engineers if I have the ability to build a building in the backyard.  

I want to replace all of the carpeting with wood grain laminate and replace all of the appliances.

Well my rental income is in the stock market, and the market is down because Puerto Rico is bankrupt and there is war in the Ukraine, so to take those funds out, I have to sell at a loss.I need to replace the 25 year old roof on my building costing me $7000, but the market is down because an ISIS suicide bomber hit Turkey!!!!!

I have seen a few rookie investors hiring people that say they have experience and the next thing you know, they paid for a roof that now needs to be removed and replaced because it wasn't installed properly.

1) laminate floors that sound like you are walking with tap dance shoes on2) vessel sinks3) anything that is painted "faux" style4) open floor plans (although I think this is still 2-3 decades away from becoming an undesirable floor plan) I have wondered for years what will replace SS appliances.

Or try to connect with other investors in your investment area, find a new pm and give them power of attorney in a limited use to fire and replace your current PM company.
