According to my property manager, when prosepective tenants think others are interested, it helps them make the right decision ;-)

Maybe not, but its not a wise decision here.

Best decision I ever made...

It means getting timely information to make the best investment decisions.

If an agreement is made, you hire the contractor and pay them out of the escrowed funds.I'd love to have tenants pay to upgrade an apartment for me, but as somebody else mentioned, once they realize the cost is probably close to the down payment on a house and that you are the one making decisions, they will probably shy away from the idea.

What you actually do with his deposit is your decision, even though I believe you deserve to keep that deposit to cover him breaking the contract for the deposit, which was move-in on x date....next time read this document below on how to handle accepting deposits and lease signing.

By trade I am in large residential real estate in property management and leasing.

I can afford to trade my time for money right now, but not money for time.

I hope my son continues to work along side of me and become confident in his decisions.

I am excited to say that I also made the decision to become a BP PRO member this past week!
