Other than outliers like Penfed that use NextGen or lenders that use auto-enhanced or bank card-enhanced the other variants are academia and trivial pursuit questions.

At the same time, I really like @Brent Coombs statement... walking away is fine if it doesn't work.You shouldn't massage your numbers to make a deal that doesn't exist.If you are comfortable that $135K in repairs is what it is going to take, then use that number!

Basically, you have to figure out how much pluses and minuses of otherwise comparable properties either hurt or enhance the value of the home.

It is a big investment, but you will have improved the property greatly, and enhanced it's value.And, ask him to do a cooling and heating load calculation to determine what size equipment you need. 

After you see they a good tenant then gradually increase rent, also a few cosmetic enhancements can go along way in justifying the rent increase and their preception of the increase. 

My suggestion is to find the right mutually beneficial partner that could help enhance you short term situation and reach your long term goals faster.

The only time is if its an emergency resulting from something in need of repair (not to enhance a property). 

In order to help alleviate these difficulties, and to enhance his/her ability to live independently and to fully use and enjoy the dwelling unit you own and/or administer, I am prescribing an emotional support animal that will assist [FIRST NAME] in coping with his/her disability.I am familiar with the voluminous professional literature concerning the therapeutic benefits of assistance animals for people with disabilities such as that experienced by [FIRST NAME].

. :-)  Many of our upgrades can be paid for by social service programs, if the tenant qualifies and we ask.Senior Fairs occur in many cities and offer an opportunity to learn about new ways to enhance the health and well being of seniors.

I wanted to make sure I let everyone know that your security should also be enhanced as many officers will be stopping by to give him treats.
