You definitely need to charge him for burst pipe and broken light.

My husbands uncle ( 70 years old) has a home he owes about $50,000 on.. current mortgage is $650.. he also has some credit card debt to the tune of $10,000.. with his social security he barely gets by and counts every penny.Here where the real estate investment part comes in...bare with meThe home is in dire need of rehabbing.. but he has no money to do the repairs.. in the current state the house might fetch $110,000.. comps in the area for moderate upgrades sell for $185,000-$210,00..He considered selling cheap to get out and buying a condo.. but he would still be cash poor.. he figures what he could sell the house for would pay off the credit card debt, and give him some money down on a condo..

Hi - I am getting ready to close on my first condo next week and would like to do some upgrades.  

., AC units stolen, pipes and wiring ripped out, window broken, door kicked in), significantly more challenging tenants, and neighbors whose actions reduce your property value (e.g., building code violations, drug activity, squatters, loud music, loitering, littering).

The renters were horrible to the downstairs carpet and the house hasn't had any upgrades since 2001.

The would-be burglar did a little bit of damage ( broken multiple screen shade covers for windows, pry marks on Arcadia sliding glass doorframe and a cracked Arcadia sliding glass door). 

This tenant never pays on time and any time I tell her she needs to pay on time, she has a complaint about something in the unit being broken, or needing something to be done in her unit, etc., so I'm wondering if I can tell her to pay for a mold check by a professional is she is concerned about it.  

Nothing is broken in the house obviously - no leaking or sewage blocked surprisingly.

Once they are ready, they can upgrade to Aquisitions manager and fly solo.The overall goal is to get to a position where we just have to oversee these positions, solve problems as they come up and track performance. 

We reward longer term tenants with below market rent, we set the rent at market with each turnover, we have different upgrades at different times that further justify different rents.
