I'm not sure it is worth it to fly in, spend 2-3-4 days in a hotel, rent a car to view properties, buy food, etc.   

Offer to pay for 1 month to store their items at a storage faculty and provide money for a moving truck to get their items to the storage facility. 

You have to buy a property that will produce enough income to mitigae those items.

For the future you should have a check list of items to refer to. 

Issue a mandate to the PM that any repair over #XXX needs an Itemized Time & Materials Purchase Order to be completed by them and your signature of approval, without which the PO is denied. 

Gained more confidence in understanding major capex items.

From what I can see on their site they have a pretty detailed projection sheet that covers most of the important items.

I checked with my realtor, who also checked with her broker and they felt that the personal contents transfer to the new owner of the property at settlement.I realize that I'm standing my ground over a $200 lawn mower, but feel like if they were given the items, they should've been removed in the months prior to the owner I purchased the property from listed it for sale and also settlement. 

I've been through it I know the process I know the procedure I know how to help and I know how to actually have them succeed instead of failing or going back to their old life because they feel like they can't make it because of no help or guidance from that house and also when you don't have food and you're in the recovery house and halfway houses will give you food will have house food sober houses are different because they don't have much food for the house you have to provide that yourself and you don't have clothes it's all very stressful and figuring it out with no help on the outside world sucks but I would only make one meeting a week and the rest of the time I would make them do the nightly meetings daily meetings with the house have it set up where they have to work on themselves daily Yes they do have to find jobs during certain times during the day and be productive and show their productiveness every day and where they applied and what they did and have other programs other people available 10 agencies whatever can be agencies temp agencies to assist in putting those persons in a job right away at least have something to focus on I couldn't find a job in Pennsylvania I applied everywhere nobody wanted to hire me so there's a lot to this scenario but three to five meetings a week is ridiculous because that takes up too much I'm an energy I would focus on another route another way of making them successful and making them educate themselves in another way instead of focusing on the addiction because then you want to go back to using 

I guarantee the fire marshal would back you up.You could be nice and offer to install a $200 bike rack outside the building, but I would not compromise on storing personal items in common space.
