For instance, this place already has new kitchen cabinets, granite counters, new windows, new porcelain tile floors, washer and dryer hookup, LED lighting, garbage disposal.

Although inconvenient, If you limit who has access, then you may potentially limit liability by keeping only the key holders accountable for the room and equipment, as well as could help protect your investment in washer, dryer, furnace, ect from intruders (guests, random people) who are not on the lease.

They start to think of you as a friend, then want friend favors.The first time it happened to me, the tenant I became friends with wanted me to approve a washer/dryer unit for their apartment. 

Slightly off topic but if you replace the supply lines of your toilets do not forget to use the braided metal lines on the Clothes Washers.  

Scrape it up with a scraper and use a power washer to knock out any remaining residue.

Two bedrooms and one bathroom plus stackable washer and dryer.  

Adding in-unit washer/dryers would be very desirable.Those are just a few ideas off the top.

OK what follows next was her/his message to me.I need to close on or before XXXXth in order to avoid foreclosure for the owed taxes.I can converse by email tonight, but will not be available by phone until 10:00 tomorrow morning.BTW, thank you for such a fast reply!

I was being extremely nice in my chose of words with her but this was her job regardless. this is no personal assistant requirement. 

It was her choice.Wonder why the boyfriend didn't just move in with her LOL.
