Dawn Carter at directors' mortgage is very knowledgeable and experienced at working with investors and took really good care of me when buying my duplex.   

Dawn Hryshko is her name.

It looks like more people (not on the lease) are living in the apartment (2 to 4), drinking, smoking, fighting, load music and partying goes on until dawn.

A little move in basket with some of the following :  assorted felt furniture protectors for the wood floor, a sponge, cleaner for a glass top stove if there is one, a small bottle of hand soap,  a couple of packets of dishwasher detergent, maybe a dishtowel, and a roll of paper towels,  windex or such. 

If you have yet to reach out to them, I believe your targeted area is @Dawn Brenengen's stomping ground, though I may be mistaken.

@Dawn Brenengen ok thanks dawn

I am estimating that there is still about $5500 worth of work to complete the project plus the dishwasher, refrigerator and some bathroom items (that I have already paid for).The gentleman and I still have a relationship and he is paying for a guy to come work when he can afford it (telling me he is building mobile homes for $12/hr during the day and managing the night shift at McDonald's to cover bills and my work).

@Dawn BrenengenThanks for the response! 

Enodo predicts the amount of rent increase you could withstand for a given value-add (e.g. a dishwasher or new countertops) in all zip codes in the US.
