MA Landlord
Planning to get some insulation upgrades done. Work would need to be done from inside the apartment where walls throughout the house would be drilled for filling with insulation. The work is expected to last 2 days at most with access to all basic facilities all the time like bathroom, water etc.

I expect there to be noise and dust/debris as a part of the process. While the workers would try to clear up as much as they can when done there will be some mess.

Looking for advice!

Pay for a professional clean after the works

That’s what I would do. Also suggest that you pay for some boxes they can use to store items that might get damaged or dusty, even accidentally.

Are you asking what to do with the tenant? Depending on your relationship, I’d offer the tenant a discount for the month (I did something similar when I did minor renos to tn condo with a tenant living there)

Yeah. They can continue to stay in the unit when the work is done. Wont take more than 2 days and all essentials, heat etc would be working.

Do i still need to compensate them for anything?

You don’t have to but even a small gift card would be a nice gesture.

Are you doing this work through mass save?

We did the insulation through mass save and it was a good deal. I would say they did a strong job cleaning. I think someone has to be there when they do the work to sign off. If it’s not clean enough you can say so and they’ll address it.

For us it was a STR and no one was there but I didn’t need to bring cleaners in again afterwards.

Ideally do it between tenants, otherwise by VERY upfront about what is happening, the alternative you're offering (probably a hotel), and offer some comp for their trouble. Believe me, making them feel seen is money well spent vs headaches, bad blood, and post-hoc negotiations.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
