Investment Property Has Been Absolute Disaster | Trying To Turn It Around
It's been a total disaster, but we're finally making some progress.
The Problem:
We bought this building because it was conveniently located next to the largest apartment i already own. I felt it was a good investment because it allowed me to control the improvements of the block a little more and allowed me to keep my investments close. But as soon as we started tearing into it, the problems started piling up. Hidden issues under the floors, old walls that were falling apart, and shoddy work done by previous owners (even 75 years before). It's been a nightmare. There are literally layers of different designs and styles on every wall and floor going back decades.
The Challenges:
Contractor Delays: We've had so many delays due to contractors being booked up or not showing up at all. It's really slowed down the progress.
Hidden Costs: We keep finding more and more problems that need to be fixed. This is eating into our profits.
But We're Not Giving Up!
We're determined to turn this apartment into a beautiful and profitable property. We're taking it down to the studs and doing it right this time. We're also lucky to have access to some resources that have helped us save money and time.
Our Progress:
Demolition: We've already thrown away 8 full dumpster loads and over 10 tons of demolition material in just thisnlast week. It's a lot of work, but it's necessary to get the units in good shape. It definitely helps to have a dumpster business to save on the time and costs associated with demolition.
We're still a long way from finishing this project, but we're confident that we'll be able to turn these units into a beautiful and profitable property to be proud of. That's what I care about most. I never want to be seen as a slum lord. I am excited to share the process with you along the way. Stay Tuned!
If you're thinking about investing in real estate, I encourage you to do your research and be prepared for the challenges. But if you're willing to put in the hard work, it can be a very rewarding experience. This is not the worst property I've bought, and it's in no way a bad investment but it's one of the largest projects for sure and the stress multiplies when things aren't going as expected or promised. But that's business. Just have to keep pushing forward.
Thanks for watching! I'll be back with another update soon. In the meantime, please subscribe to my channel for more videos about real estate investing.

    Been in the "bit off more than I can chew" and/or "series of unfortunate events" zones many times. No one realizes how much work is involved with rental properties! There's always something going wrong, or some big project going slower than you'd like. But it's also the most rewarding, because you are making actual improvements to your community and the people who live here.

We have people break contracts and they either fix it or we dump it on the spot and leave. We don't fix it for them. On a side note; What class of carts are you running?

So if you were to get pulled over this is for the original poster and rolling ops question... Can't you just tell the copper the truck died installed and this is the fastest way I could get it off the road there's no emergency clause in that law. So what the caught would say You only allowed to tow it off the road and you have to leave it there and then make this big hoopla of calling out a tow truck and blocking the road. -I could see this being a problem if every time you drove down the road you saw somebody towing like this but if it happens once in a blue moon what's the freaking big deal some laws are just ridiculous. Sure the law could be on the books but the cop and the people should not want them enforced unless it's a massive issue 2 mi with no traffic no problem If you have to spend $500 with a tow truck then guess what You got to charge all the public way more money to rent your dumpsters Just think of it this way you're doing a the public a service by saving their money 😂

    Welcome to your nightmare! Boomers aren't the problem! I had rented a cottage in northern Ontario, gets very cokd so the woman that owned,told me to make sure the electric heater under the bathroom floor kept the pipes warm! From freezing. She said they'd had a fire under it,but not the whole house! I found a floor hatch just covered by the carpet,with just a bit of it exposed ,so i cut the carpet,and opened the hatch! Oh what a surprise under the floor,all the beams under the house had all been charred and burnt by fire! Probably caused by using a propane heater previously under the bathroom floor!😮 She noticed i had cut the carpet, wasn't to happy about that,but i told her what id found! So,you never know what your getting, when buying and older home,or cottage!
