@Mindy Jensen in looking at the source html there is 120 pixels of padding (empty space) at the top of the email. 

Pen and pad ready!

Most of the time if there are serious questions it's either "wedding night jitters" or you consciously (or subconsciously) padded your numbers.  

It was quiet as a mouse for 30 minutes, then I came up over a hill and the detector lit up like the fourth of July.

Is it padded into the rent and offered as "free electricity" or is he billing separately as a power provider?

He explained the pad wears out and eventually we will need to replace that, as well.

The estimate is that it will cost at least 22k for bare infrastructure to have a vacant pad.  

We had planned to grade it and create a pad which would have generated a lot more value, but with the changing market, we wanted to minimize our exposure.Purchase price (off market): $595kImprovements cost: $76kSeller note interest paid: $53kProperty taxes paid: $11kTotal cost basis: $735kSelling price (in escrow): $1.2MGross profit: $465kI'm very much an amateur and if I was doing it for real I could probably move a bit faster and save quite a bit of money on the improvements - I used an overpriced civil engineer who I won't use again.

I would rather not have to deal with the variability and try to accurately pad the rents to cover it, much more risky as you also noted.

Maybe pull the trigger on a nice tile saw - you would all laugh hard at the Mickey Mouse one I get away with now - then again, I don't love doing tile so...and I actually prefer an old-school score type for as much as I can get away with.
