I don't think I would put in LEDs in the hallways or common areas that are easily accessible or within arms reach, as tenants or visitors may be inclined to "borrow" the bulbs.In our area Costco has 2 LED floodlight bulbs for $11.99 which is a pretty great deal.

My inclination would be similar to yours - the most reliable conclusion for value would probably be supported by the income approach, but an appraiser would not know for sure until they looked at the detail.

You might just be better giving it back to start with but I would be inclined to be more formal then just handing it back so you have all your ducks in a row with this kind of tenant.

I'd have been more inclined to fight the "which sidewalk" to use or "children in the common area" than to have fought this one. 

Suggest you complete your profile in order for people to know more about you and be inclined to share and support you with better responses.Until the personal rep has been appointed and court has confirmed capacity, powers and authority, there is no contractual standing, meaning no ability to contract as exec or admin.

That's a pretty large area though, I'd be inclined to just look at fort Bragg.

We also believe tenants are more inclined to take good care of the property when they feel like they’re being treated fairly. $25 per month is money well spent to avoid a several thousand dollar vacancy.What about automatic rent increases in the lease?

But, if you are inclined to try, below is a process that I have used and worked for me and I believe will work for anybody.Once you find a property that you believe has flip potential, take the time to really think the entire process through with a spread sheet.

For a rental, I would be inclined to try marketing it as-is.Depending on your marketing strategy, you might try 2 different ads - one with pictures of the room and one without. 

While large numbers of tenants are undesirable I would be inclined set that issue aside along with the pet issue.
