@Mindy Jensen where's my virtual cork-board ;-) ), but here are some alternatives to get you started:Douglas Gray's "The Canadian Landlord's Guide" is a good starting volume.Steve Cohen and George Dube's "Legal, Tax and Accounting Strategies for the Canadian Real Estate Investor" is a must-have overview of how you buy, own, and dispose of your real estate and the implications of different strategies.    

Grouping activity should be evaluated and done carefully as you cannot release suspended loss by disposing just one house.This is complicated part of the code and you should sit down with your professional. 

We will clean entire property of trash and debris from our construction renovations and dispose of in thedumpsters provided.

So basically it doesnt cost them anything and you dispose of their problem?

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?
