She’s currently not paying rent, and while she has some health issues and no stable income, she’s been communicative and open to general talks, with a possible option to vacate through a cash-for-keys arrangement, though this might take around six weeks and some hard work.I plan to rehab the property and eventually rent it out, potentially to a Section 8 tenant.

Staging is the process of arranging and decorating your house to highlight its best features and make it as appealing as possible to potential buyers.

Your best first investment will always be your own living arrangement.  

When maintenance is scheduled, we send out a reminder, and if they won't be home, they can easily authorize entry.Sometimes, our contractors will contact tenants directly to arrange the most convenient dates and times for visits.

Common problem, no easy answer:(We try to allow our owner clients to arrange their own maintenance, but have learned the hard way there MUST be limitations:1) They can't hire our people!

Then everyone can be grateful for a long-term arrangement.    

The success rate is below 30% so it is always do some arrangements with the tenant or move on depending on the case.

Maybe we can arrange a time to chat sooner if you'd like more information.

Can you arrange for counters, floors, painting other “basics” without him tacking on his 20%?

My question is this: How could we structure an arrangement that would make sense for both my potential partner and myself?
