The numbers I often see are: Light: $20–30/sq ftMedium: $40–50/sq ftHeavy: $60+ sq ft  But these ranges seem a bit outdated, and I keep hearing different figures depending on who I talk to. 👉 For those actively investing in South Florida, what are the realistic costs per square foot today for light, medium, and heavy rehabs?

They acquire a contract on outdated, unlicensed, non competitive and heavily maintenance deferred facilities and using an appraisal done by a general residential appraiser in 2018 think they’re getting the deal of the century5.

Of course, you and I have already corresponded on this issue via PM, but I'll post my answer here as well to ensure the correct info is out there.Firstly, my post above is a bit outdated now and our average time between move out and new move in is down to 38 days.

Undue Financial or Administrative BurdenIf the cost of accommodating the ESA is excessively high or logistically impossible.Example: Modifying an entire building for one tenant’s ESA.Direct Threat to Health or SafetyIf the animal poses a real, proven danger to other tenants or staff.Example: A dog with a documented history of biting people.Significant Property DamageIf the ESA causes repeated and severe property destruction.Example: An ESA that has destroyed walls or flooring in multiple incidents.Invalid DocumentationIf the ESA letter is fraudulent, outdated, or not issued by a licensed healthcare professional.Exempt Housing SituationsCertain housing types are not covered by the FHA, such as:Owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units.Single-family homes rented without a broker.

I view this similar to a yellow pages phone book, outdated. 

Document everything and get local help fast: hire an Ohio eviction attorney or your PM’s attorney to serve the proper notice for nonpayment and lease breaches, then file as soon as the statutory cure period ends so the court clock starts; in parallel, offer a written cash‑for‑keys with a firm move‑out date, walkthrough, and condition photos to reduce damage risk; change exterior locks only if/when legally allowed; keep communication in writing, stop informal deals, and line up turnover vendors now so you can re‑rent quickly once you regain possession.

After removing outdated wire shelving, I installed new cabinets, created custom butcher block countertops, and floating shelves to give them the pantry of their dreams!
