As this would be in NYC the price point is very high so it makes a massive difference.

Does the guideline for a monthly rent between 0.8% and 1.1% of the property's value include power, water, gas etc.?

Hi All, I've worked for a non-profit my entire professional career (ie, my W2 income is not very high).

Overall I like the program but agree people have too high of expectations and think it's a magical tool that solves every problem.My favorite is when the annual inspection comes through with such detailed line items like "fix door".Literally doesn't tell you what needs to be fixed, what door, etc.
