The answer also depends if it is a request for a one time need, or ongoing need.Everything is negotiable, but if I am going to change my normal operating procedure to accommodate a tenant's need, then the rent will be higher to compensate me for this.

Hello BP family,We are real estate investors focusing on rehabbing, wholesaling, and buying/holding income producing properties in the Chicagoland area.

No matter who's responsible for supplying the unit I'd install it myself or make sure whoever does knows proper procedures.

"Government backed loans" are shorted every day for no where near the full balance, and have some of the better short sale procedures.  

This can produce added benefits for the landlord; the longer the term can translate into a happier tenant, which has many positive benefits, such as a better payer and the property receiving better treatment.Are you concerned about being “stuck” with an undesirable tenant?

But Florida procedures are a little different.  

That's 64 more square feet of framing, insulation, drywall, siding, paint, etc.Also, dimensional lumber is produced in two-foot lengths and panel goods are four-foot wide... most efficient use of materials will use wall and floor dimensions that are equally divisible in these increments.The boxes ain't always pretty, but they are more cost effective!

I understand it's all about the numbers and comparing the would be deals to give a definitve answer, and obviously it makes more sense to go with the option that produces more proft.  

It's not hard (but is extra work as I end up producing a unique letter per offer) to temporarily transfer balances around to produce a proof of funds letter close to the asking price, but I'm looking to streamline where I can.

If the tenant can not produce a copy of the lease then the agreement is treated like a month to month and the 90 day rule from the Tenant Act applies.
