Someone else also mentioned a cover they can put on tubs these days.  

It's worth mentioning, are you sure the PM didn't steal or lose all the rent checks and is covering themselves by blaming the tenants?

HAVE a move out check list cost sheet in you policy packet that covers the cost to remove the nicotine,, 200 bucks a room to prep and seal.. and take photos of walls,, have washed so you can see what the issue is, if questioned later..8  NO smoking policy is best way to go.. 

The first deal alone covers student loans.

@Ryan McEniff based on my education and training when analyzing a deal I use the following for operating expenses: Check with the local area you are buying by asking the local experts, but as someone who is a real estate Broker in CA, our average closing costs on the buy side for a buyer will run between 2%-3% of sales price (most of that comes from lender origination fees). 10% vacancy (most deals I see when being offered for sale are between 5%-8%, but if it pencils with 10% I know I'm probably covered on vacancy)10% for property management (until I know exactly what the PM fee is then I would modify, but average is 8% to 10%)5% for R&MActual Property TaxesInsurance (Get quotes from 3 companies and take the average)Landlord Utilities (12 month average.

I'm sure the buyer is an investor ... ask him if you can tag along on the deal and help out here and there ... check in on the job site from time to time and take pictures for him, run to home depot, etc.

Word of mouth definitely does travel so you'll find a good one as long as you ask people you know who just recently had work done to their house and if the pictures of there work looks good to your standard because bad work is unacceptable. 

I still use my HELOC to purchase properties (HELOC >> Personal bank account >> Capital contribution to LLC), but I take enough credit out to cover the loan cost of the project (pay your HELOC with your HELOC).
