Yes, getting rid of her. She actually will be way worse off than me. Just annoying.

Good to bring up the landlord tenant courts. I have a Section 8 tenant(with a BMW) that I am evicting. Her lease expired. Court comes and the judge didn't show up. I hear the tenant could have a maximum of six months in the unit. Crazy.

@John Hickey $5500 a month? How big of a place? What amenities? 

If you ever look at brownstoner they have estimates on renovation costs. I know a gc who a friend gave high marks too. He did a cornice painting for me.

Ok. Let me know the brands and how it turns out.

Has anyone used an affordable wireless doorbell system for a three or four family? I had an old school doorbell installed and it isn't working so want to go with a wireless one. Thanks

Thanks!

Hi, I have a bathtub that needs to be replaced. Any suggestions on a decent brand that won't cost more than $200?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. We own a very small building and the coffee shop is a two person operation. My family was not in position to pay for the improvements. They are late with this month's rent. They paid last month's late. They have 4 years left on the term. I don't see them finishing it out. I am more concerned about the transition. Any suggestions?

Hi, my family owns a small mixed use building. Last year, we signed up a commercial tenant to rent out the space as a coffee shop. It is pretty clear to me that they won't last too much longer. They did a lot of upgrades on their own dime. I'm hopeful that they will invoke the good guy guarantee and walk away after paying off what they owe to us. Now, I am thinking of the transition. They didn't really give me a proper list of the "as builts". So, while I generally know of what they did, I don;t know the specifics. Outside of getting that, does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle the situation?
