I have also been looking for my first investment property in the South Jersey area, and have been doing a lot of "driving for dollars" and deal analysis for properties in Oaklyn, Bellmawr, Audubon, and Riverside. 

This has amazing features, but I have not pulled the trigger yet, I've learned to give seemingly amazing **** some time, and check out reallll reviews first. ninety-nine dollars per month is ok if its month to month, but to throw five hundred upfront to them and lose is not good at all. anyone else checking/checked it out, please share good and bad?

And so you have to take the time to go buy a new fixture and then your electrician has to install it takes maybe 5 minutes but he charges 100 bucks or more and we need a profit for our time.. so you can see how changing a 30 dollar fixture can run 500.00 or we just say no cant do that..

Or possibly negotiate "cash for keys," figure out a dollar amount that would make it acceptable for your friend to end his lease early. 

I’m curious—do you think there’s a way to approach this where I could offer some form of compensation in dollars for a coach's time?

The basement was covered in mold, despite us purchasing our own dehumidifier for 200 dollars so we could uphold the mold and moisture addendum of the lease.

  $350 dollars doesn't just disappear. 

Kris tells the story about how he grabbed a clip board he had lying in his car and walked up to the door not knowing anything about purchasing a home.The grumpy old lady selling the home gave him a tour of the place and after walking through he made an offer for a few thousand dollars below the asking price.

So in REALITY, it's you giving the Gov. another dollar, to get 30 cents back. 

Even though they were not his tenants they sued him for lead paint poisoning and won a multi-million dollar verdict against him.
