The past tenants left it pretty good with expected wear & tear (replace a facucet a few blinds - minor stuff).  

Personally I just don't believe one can get their full potential out of reading on line.. much of what you read is just not correct.. we see it here on BP all the time .. the blind leading the blind.. faceless commentary.. some of it is excellent I have over the course of 3 years figured out who the true experts are on this site and there are many.

I am not going to try to defend the people involved here as I don't know the GC personally but obviously I am not planning to go in this partnership blind.

The 3/2, 1200 sq. ft. block house  I have been repairing for the last six months, near MacDill AFBase, is being sold to an old tenant and his sister who is going blind as a retired nurse.

Your principals are blinding you to a opportunity to build a valuable relationship that not everyone gets and one that most would sell their principals for in a heart beat.You won't go far unless you realise that business "principals" and personal "principals" are entirely different animals.

I don't fix blinds.  

I had a unit turn sheet ,, I had maintenance go thru once we got notice, I scheduled the painters, the shampooers and needed expected repair supplies, toilet seats, blinds, or blind slats,, what ever.
