Her need to move may have altered completely.

I think I will alter my strategy a bit and just work within the scope of traditional deals.

In the contract we signed with the property management company when we first started using them there was a clause that said:"Expenditures for repairs, alterations, decorations or furnishings in excess of Three HundredDollars ($300.00) shall not be made without prior written consent of owner, except in thecase of emergency, or if agent in good faith determines that such expenditures arenecessary to protect the property from damage, to prevent injury to persons or loss of life,or to maintain services to tenants."

Send me the whole legalese enchilada I can read it and translate to English. 

I am more than happy to help translate. 

I took a legal zoom lease for VA and altered it. 

Many have simple internet memberships if you don't live there and this could make a difference in paying double taxes next year over this year.Note that here in KC, that the assessment hikes could translate into huge tax increases, it remains to be seen what the individual cities will do with the assessments. 

How do I translate this to a contractor so that I get what I want and they DON'T charge me an extra $50.00 sqft. and takes advantage?

That will still be there if you operate the LLC properly as its own legal entity and without co-mingling funds, using it as your alter-ego, etc. 

Title says most of it- I have lots of interest but since the property faces a "main arterial route", which translates to road noise.
