I’m managing twenty units, noticing higher turnover lately, and want tips on tenant surveys, lease incentives, or property maintenance to keep folks happy.

If anyone would like to evaluate it, feel free to DM me and I can share a parcel map, zoning/land-use info (what we know), utilities/access details, survey/topo/floodplain info (if available), and photos/house specs.

I am considering embarking on development of a new product to help self-managers, and I wanted to take a very informal survey on a few questions. 1. 

Environmental, zoning/use, and survey are the biggest due diligence items in commerical.

They pay option money (depending on your state.) earnest money, probably a survey, and maybe an inspection, line up movers, sell their old house or give notice at their rental, set up utilities and deposits, take off work, and all the other things that come along with buying a house. 

My usual title company wouldn’t handle it due to the transaction size, so I had to bring in an attorney and personally handle items title would normally manage—survey coordination, document retrieval, etc.There were hiccups.

Copy of a plat of survey?

This is my first investor deal and I'm a little freaked about already spending $1,500 plus for the inspections water, home, termite and surveys.

Does the survey reflect the new addition? 

@Madison ClarkGreat question—and you’re thinking about the right trade-offs.There isn’t a single “right” answer here; it really comes down to what you’re optimizing for: monthly cash flow vs. liquidity/simplicity.A few ways to frame the decision:Option 1: Fix it and re-rentYou’re all-in roughly $7,800 ($6k repairs + $1.8k survey).At $850–$900/mo, you’re looking at ~$10,200–$10,800 gross annually.Even after setting aside reserves, vacancy, and maintenance, that’s a strong return on a relatively small capital outlay.You keep the asset, benefit from long-term rent growth, and avoid triggering a sale.Option 2: Sell as-isNetting ~$55k gives you liquidity and zero headaches.That capital could be redeployed into another deal, pay down debt, or sit in something more passive.The trade-off is giving up a paid-off cash-flowing asset that likely continues to perform better over time than many alternatives.The questions I’d ask myself:Do I want ongoing cash flow or a lump sum right now?
