not to skip it because its costs a few extra hundred bucks... 

The way that our planet is changing I’m sure there is another hundred year flood is around the corner.

anyone can get those set up for a few hundred bucks.the really funny one is when they send you a picture of their ID to prove they are real  LOL.. just crooks and theives looking to take advantage of those beginning their real estate or borrowering  journeys nothing more nothing less 

I'm OKC biased because I work, live and invest here but I also see hundreds of OOS investors a year come her due to the stability, approachable price point, solid returns and landlord-friendly laws. 

TI...aka Tenant Improvements...your future tenant may want to negotiate different terms for the move in, like a few months discounted rent(this could be on top of the above mentioned vacancy) while they build out the place, or some concession for the Tenant Improvements, if you  have an empty shell it could require extensive work to make it business ready for different types of business, think needing to add bathrooms for a gym(dozens of showers and toilets, lockers, etc) or adding a fully equipped commercial kitchen(walk in freezers, special fire suppression, a few extra sinks or drains) With apartments, I rarely have to do extensive build outs or concessions for tenants, even if I have full on renovation, it is almost always replace the old with same but new, ie tear out old kitchen put new kitchen in same place, same plumbing, just new cabinets, and flooring(if you are at all handy, you can do most of it yourself, or be able to estimate accuracy of bids easily).

I expect to have the income to pay a few hundred dollars per month out of pocket and would be willing to do so if it's a good move over the long term.

I can understand, as he manages many hundreds of units.

All that was left was to close the walls (which are open to be able to see the electrical and plumbing) and finish the kitchen cabinets.
