Love my job but I feel like I have been working in a box for 10 years, hoping to practice because I want to not because I need to.   

So I spent my time spinning my wheels for nothing.

If he can't get a house inspector or similar to do a walk through, he'll assume worst case scenario based on his notes and go from there.Said the entire process will probably take him anywhere from 3-10 man hours (most of that time is spent contacting, communicating, and reviewing estimates from the contractors in step 2).

I'd assess the state of his apartment, deduct any damaged items with a full accounting of how you spent the money - which is your obligation as a landlord - then send any remaining money back to him. 

That's why I got a PO box.  

I'm a full time chef really interested in growing in Real Estate, my first deal was and still being my primary residence bought as a short-sale paid 67k cash on January 2013, spent 18k in renovation and now it's worth around 150k .I became a Licensed Real Estate Agent 5 months ago, and I'm looking forward to working on this field.
