Now, here is key thing to remember, it's almost double what most other western nations are currently trading at......

We went way over our expected budget - by far our worse budget miss ever (remarkably we were only 0.5 week over our 2 month timeline).Using my rule, take the estimates and double them then add for lost occupancy and that is what I would be seeking or the owner have the work done using licensed contractors and do the work, take the risks, and suffer the vacancy costs.If you purchase having to do the work and your appraisal can handle it, the credit at closing is superior to price discount.  

Depending on how long the prior owner lived there they may change very little or they could more than double.  

If it is vacant, you have written notice they said they'd be gone, either let yourself in to double check they are gone (and if so change the locks) or post a notice saying you will be there tomorrow to enter the place.Nathan's message is perfect about telling them where to leave the keys and that you'll be by to do the move out inspecting in the morning....also about telling them what to do, not asking.When they are moving there is a lot to do and it is better they focus on moving than getting multiple messages and calls. 

Double check with an attorney to make sure you've completed it correctly.You will need to attempt to deliver it, by hand, to one of the tenants. 

In 10 years, you'll be kicking yourself for not buying double the number of homes you bought.  

Wondering if there is any other legal way of minimizing double taxation for my Cayman Partners. 

I'd consider renting out your property in Frisco as a mid term rental, you'll typically see double the rents vs a long term rental.

Include energy-efficient upgrades, like double-pane windows, if applicable.10.

Another tip: use Rentometer and RentCast to double-check your rental rates; they’re great for comparing rents in your area and making sure you're priced right.
