HelloI am attempting to sell my investment town home, located in CA, it was previously my primary residence but is now rented out to a tenant who has resided there for four years. The tenant has expressed interest in ...

We have opened walls and found wiring down with lamp cord, wiring that was simply twisted with no box or wire nuts or tape inside walls, joists that were cut almost all the way through by plumbers running piping (fairly common even today), wiring with nails through it along with burn marks (ever wonder why old homes catch fire?)

I currenntly have 5 properties and am needing to cut down on tax liabilities for this year.

Then she cut our conversation short because she had to talk to someone else.Yesterday I had someone go my vacant property on Zillow and request a showing.

I have seen too many landlords simply send a letter to the tenant saying the rent is going to increase to amount next month or in 60 days.

I was in this program, simply for the "boots on the ground" @3k/month in Philly to test out two deals there.

Turnover costs (vacancy, cleaning, listing, risk of a weaker tenant) can easily eat up several months of that $300 difference.That said, permanent rent reductions can be hard to reverse.A few structured ways experienced landlords handle this:Temporary concession instead of permanent cut.

At the worst levels, stocks were sharply lower (DOW down 1,100 points) and the 10-year Treasury yield pushed to 4.11%, reflecting anxiety that higher energy costs could delay future Fed rate cuts.

Even if they are the best DIYer's they are going to cut corners and you are going to have to fix those problems that will later arise because they cut those corners.

You don't want to have to go back in there start working on stuff and end up spending way more to turn around and have to cut the price anyway.
