I've had a tough time filling a vacancy since September 1st after I had renovated the unit; I pulled up the carpet to put down vinyl flooring, re-painted, and added stainless steel appliances. 

I was on a short vacation and cut it short to come back home before the boilermakers showed up.

Well done, @Jose G Delvalle Bueno. 70% CoC ROI is pretty phenomenal no matter how you cut it.

Cutting out the bank on big deals early on can have big benefits.

But condo fees are the killer most are about $180 per month cutting into the rental profit. 

There are no short cuts!

And the TCJA resulted in some IRS updates on section 179 depreciation and bonus which allow potential full dedcution of a roof on the property all in 1 year https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/new-rules-and-limitations-for-depreciation-and-expensing-under-the-tax-cuts-and-jobs-actSo you just get to deduct the entire roof in 1 year, and follow the revenue code.  

Drop the hammer now and cut your losses as fast as possible or the bleeding will continue, otherwise hang on for a wild ride and it won't be fun.  

@Christopher Blanco,Looks like a nice fix job, though perhaps some corners were cut on the hardwood floors and in the basement.

Hello BP,I am looking at a 6 unit in Chicago listed for 360k and am using sellers listing agent to represent me as a dual agent and she said that seller cut back her commission and wants me to pay a $2000 finders fee.I am confused because doesn't she get both sides of deal?
