In hopes of continuing the relationship for years to come, you would like the company to make a good faith gesture and reimburse you for 50% of charges.Hopefully, others can offer better suggestions.

Need advice.To give a brief background, in January of 2016 I became a faithful follower of Bigger Pockets.

Think we have all been "burnt" in our lives by friends, family, friends of our faith, etc.I lost over a million  on one property due to my partner ( business ) getting addicted to Drugs!

I need to take the leap of faith once I recoup my money spent on the duplex.

Ideally, I pay for the materials to start the job, and pay a smaller draw in good faith.

It's a huge act of faith to buy something occupied but I'd just ask all the questions I could.  

By law, you need to make a "good faith" effort to re-rent if the Tenant is not successful finding a suitable replacement.

I think it's common sense for any business that if you have done a job in good faith, if something goes wrong, someone else needs to pay for it (that's what we pay insurance for) -- this applies to all, investor or contractor or doctor or nurse, etc.

Once the tenant has satisfied their 1 year commitment (and has been a good tenant) I allow them to go month to month more as a gesture of good faith than anything else.

@Stephanie Ro let me start by saying that I don't put a lot of faith in Neighborhood Scout and don't use it.
