I have a tenant who passed out a notice to tenants in his building threatening eviction for noise. He also called the police today on a family who just brought their newborn home from hospital. The noise is not abnormal it’s an apartment complex there is some level of noise. Police stated they had to walk the building 2 times and still didn’t hear anything out of the ordinary.

Question: for communities charging monthly pet rent and/or initial pet fees:
(1) do you get questions about why you charge those, (2) if you do, what are your answers? I’m surprised there are still rental properties that do don’t accept pets and others that do but don’t charge pet rent &/or pet fees—but they are out there. Thanks!

OK, whose community is this? 😆

HHello everyone, I hope all is well,

I am a commercial appraiser. I am currently valuing an existing apartment complex. My client is asking that I provide a replacement cost on the apartment buildings at the complex. This is to insure the buildings. Basically, I need to value each building as if a builder was hired to build just one building, not all of them at the same time. So the cost would be higher for one building.

I am a commercial appraiser. I am currently valuing an existing apartment complex. My client is asking that I provide a replacement cost on the apartment buildings at the complex. This is to insure the buildings. Basically, I need to value each building as if a builder was hired to build just one building, not all of them at the same time. So the cost would be higher for one building.

These are two and three-story buildings that house between six and ten 3/2 units each.

This all said, have any of you had to replace a single building recently? Maybe due to a fire or other reason?

If so, could I ask how much the total cost was, or better, yet if you know the cost per square foot?

I appreciate any insight any of you may have, your knowledge is better than using a cost program, which normally are incorrect.

Thank you again for your help, Mark Show more

I'm looking for feedback on RealPage vs Entrata.
I'm a RealPage kid, born and raised, so tell me the pros and cons of why I'd want to choose Entrata instead or stay away from it.
This is for a new build, not a conversion.
