We do have a deal that she can only use them for educational purposes until she is fully finished, then it's up to her to decide.The other advantage of this technique is that she is learning the business, both in having to get her hands dirty in the rehab and cleanup (TOTALLY what a 12/13 yo loves...not) , and now in following the financials of managing a rental.  

You would need a company that specializes in fire clean-up, ventilation, odor mitigation.

Just clean up unused poison when your done using so the neighbor cat doesnt wander over and eat it after.

Make sure there is no eminent domain proceeding, epa cleanup issues, or pending litigation etc. that would affect the property.

Losing that tenant might leave you with a big cleanup bill.

But, if I understand you correctly you are just looking to have the finish work done, I am not sure what that would run you.Unfortunately, not too many people are looking to clean up your mess and give you a good deal.

I considered just paying him the final amount to get him out of my hair, but the only thing that stopped me is the fact that I am spending $12k to finish the entire job + clean up the original person's mess. 

I will also clean up anything left outside the units (multifamily) and send the tenants a bill14) failure to keep maintenance appointments - I will bill the tenants15) (I added this several times throughout the lease) If I don't like the way you care for your residence, I will serve you a 60 day notice to vacate instead of offering a lease renewal.16) landscaping rules17) smoke detectors/CO detectors18) I require renters insurance (this is a new policy, but I think renters insurance is worth it)19) Waiver/Breach20) RULES FOR ENTRY!!!

The drywall and cleanup can happen with active repaired pipes.Depending on how seriously inconvenienced they were, I would offer $100 min up to about 25% depending on the rent rate.  

I like to invest in areas which were depressed, but have a new spark and attract young professionals.Thanks again everyone  I don't sell turkey products but I sat with Curtis and his group I'm very impressed with his knowledge.If I was going to buy out of state I would rather have someone spend $1,000 and fly to Charlotte or the market they choose.I would spend the day with Curtis and his team and I think you'll be very impressed with him and what they are doing for investors.Not only is he a real estate agent but he's also an investor so he understands what we're trying accomplish as investors.AlexBare with my message as my phone is recording me and too hard to clean up
