They are small enough, the street up costs for furniture, tv, etc should be less than 5k. we are already paying for the utilities.  

Hi All,Does anyone know a reasonable moving company or a few local guys to move furniture from Scarborough to Portland?

There are six section 8 units down the street from us; 5 of those units are quiet, hard-working adults with young kids who behave BUT ONE unit has a family of the stereotypical section 8 tenants - they let everyone stay with them, there is trash all over their yard all the time, they usually have broken doors and furniture in front of the unit on a semi-weekly basis, and they even allow drug dealers to use their yard/corner for dealing. 

I have a closing date on the contract and I also have furniture and movers coming soon

I sometimes end up paying contractor rates just to get someone to throw away used furniture.

But if you make the "de minimis election" on your tax return, it can include expenses that are under $2500 per item for things like furniture, appliances, small repairs, linens, supplies, etc.

Another investor in the area has a van and helps people to move their furniture.

I've already know that my furniture will not be taken care of like I would take care of it but the financial gain will more then pay for it.

The only mandatory work is to add a door back to the top of the stairs which I removed when we used the house as a single unit rather than separate apartments and I was frustrated trying to get furniture up the stairs.  

You could mark the price of the purchase to $127k and offer maybe a 10-15k furniture allowance as incentive or maybe some type of "legal" lien on the property by a third party that must be paid at closing.
