But whatever, it was a good crash course on turning an apartment (spent several weekends hauling out trash, painting, installing LVP flooring, lots of YouTube university).

I have a hard time thinking outside the box. 

A main question in this kind of situation is who brought the buyer.For example, if it could be shown that the buyer came to the seller because of the marketing efforts of the listing agent, that would likely have an effect on whether or not the listing agent was due all or part of a commission.In this case the buyer is the tenant and therefore wasn't brought to the transaction via the listing agent (unless the listing agent procured them as a tenant in the first place, in which case I don't know if that would count), and the listing agent apparently hasn't spent any money on the listing yet.

It is also linked to their Amazon pickup boxes, so he uses that more often. 

@Allen GrossIf you remember hearing what joe said in the episode he gave flowers and gifts and spent time with his tenants.

One of the greatest requirements for REI is to be able to think outside the box...you know that box everyone else will say you're thinking outside of. 

To accomplish getting more time, one could use credit cards and credit from large box stores like Home Depot to buy materials on 30 day credit, but the labor is going to likely need to be paid right after completion from the contractor.

It will take some time to find a property that fits your buy box (price, rent to price ratio, etc).For primary property leases, you have a little leeway about when you move it. 

A lot of money has been spent on restraints and bars.

I dont know of any programs for that, but all you need is the cloud or drop box and create file folders with photos and perhaps excel files listing each line item you used.
