But again, around here, we have to have an approved site plan/permit and an approved building plan/permit before we can actually start construction (although occasionally we do get permission to start excavation ahead of the building permit).Good luck!

I've been in homes, however, where tenants actually leave the toilets not flushed, sinks full of dishes, etc., because they don't want to move so make the place uninviting to say the least.

Occasionally we will be awarded a paid contract to do engineering & design for the work to be done, but never have we been paid to provide an estimate.

We do not put ANY contingencies in our contracts, except the occasional well and septic inspection. 

i mean its one thing to occasionally steer folks from away from one demographic or another in choice of words verbally from time to time, as it would be hard to document in a violation claim.but how would one get out of a violation claim based on their principal 'document' itself?!

We’re in a buyers market now in Manhattan except for the occasional hot property which will sell quickly and at/above ask.

But I have a Honda Accord (which may require me to throw money at it occasionally).

Ring - Wireless and I have to occasionally charge the battery and pay for service.

I will most likely become a realtor and work for a broker in the beginning but branch off on my own into just investing in rental properties and an occasional flip.

So for my portfolio, I only average about 5% for all maintenance and repair work as that includes the occasional HVAC or roof on the few that have not been replaced.
