@Joe Koppel TBH that is a horrible question to ask a customer as it's the agents responsibility to adequately cover the property.

There is a whole lot we don't know and can't give you adequate advise.

Tile walls could end up looking bad if the cleaning is not adequate and since the existing 1 piece shower/tub surround is pretty much tenant proof and is in very good condition, I am somewhat hesitant to even proceed.I might add, I am getting slightly above market rent and the tenant pays on time and has expressed an interest in staying as long as they can so I am thinking that if I allow the improvement, then the tenant becomes more invested in the unit and is more likely to stay.What experiances do you have in situations like this and what advice can you provide?

Mortgages secured by unique or nontraditional types of housing, including, but not limited to, earth houses, geodesic domes, and log houses, are eligible for delivery to Fannie Mae provided the appraiser has adequate information to develop a reliable opinion of market value.

It would appear that having adequate liability insurance coverage makes the limited liability features of the LLC superfluous, at least in my state and for a SMLLC.Just how i see it.

I have found that in many cases being fair with people has worked to my advantage however when you come across the the occasional professional dead beat, they tend to know the law better than you do so make sure your lease is written with adequate protection based on your states requirements.

Benjamin Graham (Warren Buffet's mentor) wrote in Securities Analysis "An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and an adequate return.

@Sam Erickson Yes there are ways to cover your tracks, but I would consult with a lawyer to ensure this is adequate in the case of a lawsuit.

All that said, the buyer's side commission is adequate to cover the work IMO.
