For about ten years, I owned a rental apartment in the Phoenix, AZ, area, the building included four rental units of varying sizes, then over the years, I was quite conscientious about keeping up with repairs plus renovations, but i substituted to Energy Star rated windows, automated door locks plus security lights.
I invested into a modern roof, modern Heating plus A/C system plus water heaters; As renters moved out, I replaced appliances, light fixtures plus plumbing fixtures.
I had the interior plus exterior regularly painted plus paid for turf care. I noticed a steady decline in the integrity of my occupants. In the start, I had renters who planted flowers, cleaned the windows, swept the sidewalks plus kept the place neat plus tidy, but by the end, my renters left bags of garbage on the porch, litter in the grass plus caused constant detriment. They complained about everything, called me at all times of the afternoon plus night plus were usually late with the rent. A few of my last occupants quit paying altogether. I couldn’t keep up with the complications they caused plus couldn’t tolerate the stress. I decided to sell the building; Listing the apartment led to all sorts of complications with the occupants. The real estate agent had lots of suggestions that all involved me spending a ton of money. I got one offer that fell through when the bank denied lending. The bank required a modern roof, even though the new roof was just fine. At that point, I’d had enough. I was no longer willing to live with the hassle of the renters. I wanted to sell the apartment hastily plus painlessly. I reached out to a local cash cabin buyer. They supplied a cash offer within twenty-four hours. The process was wonderfully straightforward… Having uncooperative occupants was not a stumbling block. They accepted the apartment as-is plus we closed in about a week.
