I had to cops at the house twice to collect drugs I find hidden in walls and rafters and disposed of a ton of needles.

@Naomi YamasakiHi Naomi,I looked at properties in Long Beach, Wa a few years ago and my main concern was the cost  of sewage disposal for unserviced lots.  

They will dispose of them

I am looking for input on my analysis, critique of my numbers, and tips on how I might better analyze in the future.I used Rentometer to find similar rents in the area, Realtor.com to find the property, and the city website to find garbage disposal costs.

The money they are giving you are saved only because they didn't pay rent for the last 6 months, sold all appliances, water heater, garbage disposer and the toilet bawl, didn't pay their utility bills for a big portion of their stay and managed to squeeze additional $2,000.00 as cash-for-keys from their last landlord.

The $5k to $10k difference is basically your GC's overhead and profit to manage the project and make it worth their time.Here's what I would expect to pay if I managed it myself:KitchenCabinets Material: ~$4k or lessCabinet Install: ~$1kGranite Countertops: $1.5 to $2kSink & Kitchen Faucet, Disposal, DW & Ref Hookup $500Appliances $2kFlooring (200 sf x $6/sf) = $1,200Electrical/Lighting = $500? 

The logic is that if you are in financial distress you are much more likly to walk away from your investment property than from your home, so they have  abigger risk and then have to dispose the property with a discount.

Tomcat makes a disposable bait station that kids and animals supposedly can't get into, I don't trust those.

Some have asbestos and other items that make tearing them down and disposal for haul away more expensive.

He charged me $2k to purchase and install a 75 gal gas water heater, and dispose of the old.
