So I put up two steel and fabric shade awnings in front of the place, so their cars don't roast into pieces all summer.  

Waste of time and money.Wouldn't do cash for keys as it could be seen as a payoff or (hush-hush) money to the tenant in exchange for the problems (real or fabricated) that the tenant brought up.My experience with evictions in the court is a judge asks the tenant ( If the conditions were unsafe then WHY did you not choose to move somewhere else?

Hi, I was reading @Brandon Turner book on Rental Property Investing that you can ask the seller for their tax return ( in order to see the least fabricated profit from a rental property); however, I asked my RE agent for the sellers tax return and they said I am not legally allowed to see them, and that it was the seller's private information.

@Fabrice Eliacin Welcome to BP!!!

The color and pattern of fabrics, rich juicy textures, a bit of splash and added spark will add charm to a space.

I am an interior designer, furniture designer and fabricator, and artist. 

Anyone know a local person who would be willing to do the fabrication ( sink cut outs etc)  Guess I could find someone with a circular saw or grinder but would love to have something more reliable.Clearly, these guys with the Bridge saws and CNC routers want to sell you the granite as well :(Hope this is Richmond Va and not Richmond in another state :)

Cleaned them up, welded loose frames and fabricated drip pans & cooking grates, repainted them, then took them back to properties. 

From what I have heard they all leak no matter how good the welding and fabrication work is done during a conversion.
