Being very good in HS does not translate....hard lesson. 

My "handy" tenant went against the lease (which requires my approval on any alterations etc...)..... and uprooted nice landscape  bushes, coz he "planned to replace them with a master landscaping plan "..... he even tried to cut down the neighbor's tree....that's when I got the call from the frantic neighbor. ...too late for my bushes.

Hm.....and what do you suggest he'd tell the judge, when he's trying to explain that he had the right to enter and thus he felt he had the right to alter the tenant's living space, before he had official possession of the unit?

Less material needing to be ordered equals less garbage and translates to an environmentally greener building process.

Because after a blanket statement like yours above, the truth translates to : They don't...so they won't...so they can't....and Rehab, how can you make the assumption that 'future dollars' is not savings, especially with people who simply will never get out of debt due to the refinance pain every 3-5 years we are trained to do now?

With a new tennat you never show flexibility that translates directly into the appearance of weakness.

Whilst an apology will regrettably not alter the outcome of your experience, I do extend it with all sincerity.

Given you are someone that comes down hard on people all the time in wholesaling discussions about putting in BS clauses to get out of contracts (at least there IS a clause) or negotiating more with the seller when they can't sell it for the agreed price I'd think that would translate into other contracts as well.Of course the common sense approach is that, as these crappy tenants realize, there isn't much that can be done if they move.  

That will depend on typical vacancy rates for the area and market rents for the property you'll have (how much you spend above based on your definition of performing may alter this... slum lord?
