Hi everyone, I just came across this thread, and wanted to address a few items.

I like using these for just this case.Another item to consider is since this is a 2nd floor I wouldn't be that worried since the 1st floor will heat the 2nd floor enough to not allow frozen pipes.I would also talk to an HVAC person because I believe they can also put a device to cycle the heat a few times a day or even put a secondary thermostat in the apt to take care of the minimum issues.I feel for you because otherwise you have a great tenant.

Taking real time notes on deficiencies allows for clear understanding if the items make their way to a buyer repair addendum.

Unless you are itemizing your tax return, the interest on the primary is not tax deductible.

First off, all high skill requiring items let's remove those.

How much can you budget for furnishings and all kitchen items and creature comforts for the ones you want to MTR.If you have a vacant 6-unit, you have great possibilities to try all strategies.

I am only familiar with the contract in my state but items seller agrees to do based on inspection findings are their responsibility unless spelled out differently.  

Pay $2 to $4 per item.5.  

Because looking at the T12 from a 100 units will be different from 20 units will be different from 5 units in some of the line items (account names).

I could completely be misunderstanding the process, so thank you, in advance, for clarifying these items for me.
