It’s not a huge expenditure for you, and will make their day.

I do like @Jon Deavers idea about the dishwasher, but I do think you have to look at it from a perspective on capital expenditure.

I am a 16 years experienced property manager looking for a great company to grow with, I have worked in both apartments and manufactured homes, I have been involved with renting and also with the manufactured homes selling, I have worked with capital expenditures and profit and loss.

@Kevin Chhum  Hi Kevin,  You need to take in account capital expenditure on the property as well as a possible vacancy / tenant turn over.    

Each of these statements shall include total collected rent and any expenses, including maintenance, utilities paid by the Seller, or any other expenditures related to the property.4.Copy of Management Contract: Seller must provide copy of property management contract if Seller uses a management company for the property. 5.Recent Repairs: Seller must provide breakdown of any repairs or upgrades performed on the property within the last year.

I have already read the book "Every Landlord's Tax Deduction Guide (Every Landlord's Tax Deduction Guide)" by Stephen Fishman once which was very helpful and I am going through it again now http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GP3V5AU/ref=ki...I also have already scanned all of my receipts and documentation and have them uploaded into Evernote (which I can give the tax accountant access to the specific folders), and have also pulled together a comprehensive spreadsheet to show all of my expenditures incurred for 2013 and have broken them down into their expense type categories that I think are applicable, so my return will be very straightforward for an experienced RE tax accountant and I agree with you that there's no need for the tax accountant to be local.  

Price $140k for triplexdownpayment: $10kloan amount $130kTaxes $420/monthPITI 1097gross Monthly income $2,000less vacancy (200)less maintenance (100)less cap expenditure ( 100)less property manager (200)Less other costs (MI, lawncare etc. (200)net income 1,200So these are not all the numbers but after crunching them even in this 5 minute analysis, it does not look worth it to me.  

I suggest keep crunching the numbers, but be extremely mindful that taxes come into play, capex, and other sudden expenditures might spring on you.

Can you afford to have the this expenditure and wait for payoff for an extended period of time, in case the house doesn't sell?  

If unpaid, then just cause would be established.. 2) Even if you're not owner-occupying it, you can use banked rents (3x this year's CPI), or up to 10% annual increases by passing through capital expenditure costs, subject to 30% cap in 5 years. 3) Buyouts@Leo B., there are buyouts that have gone well into the 6 figures in SF.
