A tenant who doesn't respect the property can cause damage regardless of finish quality.

They are respectful and understand that this is a business for us.As far as Great Falls I would recommend doing some research on section 8 tenants and learning more about it.

If you did, how would you assess the respect/care the tenants demonstrated for the units?

Respect,-Greg

She appreciated that I respected her business and her employees, my healthcare background, and strong finance/accounting/business skill (thanks to Bigger Pocket and real estate investing!).

Furthermore, the same client may be inconsistent with respect to their own property if they get multiple unqualified applicants... for example, they may reject anyone with a credit score less than 620, but after 3 rejections, the 4th applicant has a score of 605 and they decide to accept.

Account Closed respect it and move on, she sounds like someone who might know how to negotiate, and if she gives that info up, you may have a leg up in negotiations. 

In addition, if you are self-employed with no full-time employees you may wish to consider opening a Solo 401k instead of a self-directed IRA as it has several advantages over an IRA LLC such as much higher contribution limits, direct checkbook control (i.e. no need to have the account at a specialty trust company), ability to take a 401k loan, exclusion from unrelated debt finance income tax with respect to investment in real estate acquired with non-recourse financing, etc.In addition, please note if you purchase debt-financed real estate with your IRA, unrelated debt finance income tax should apply to the income attributable to debt-financed real estate held by your IRA.

Your showing your serious AND respect them, as putting up cost 100%, even allowing a minor $ to cover soft costs like overhead, and the big pop is % of the deal.
