As was mentioned, this would be pure goodwill and I would just change the knobs and eat the cost.

Right now, and for the foreseeable future, northern Illinois in a pure cash flow market.  

without knowing anything about your landlord/tenant laws, this is what I think...they pay for a whole month. if a tenant decides to move out in the middle of a month, you wouldn't refund half the rent. same should apply here. that being said, typically you are not allowed to earn double rent so if a tenant left halfway through and you re-rented immediately you would then have to refund original tenant.you are now taking rental off the market, so in my opinion the right thing to do would be to refund for any days you occupy, same as if a new tenant were taking over. if you move in on 15th, refund 1/2 if you move in on 20th refund 1/3, etc. that's my moral assumption, and is not based on your local laws and is not intended to be taken as legal advice.now...if you wanna be a nice guy you can refund half the tenants rent for the month in light of the fact that you are forcing them to uproot their lives, and thank your lucky stars you are not in a state that requires you to pay moving expenses when owner occupying...this is purely a good will gesture though and has no business value

There were two bottles for two guys, so I don't get the feeling that they were drinking all day.

There in the courts now because they want to heavily taxe soda drinkers and not fancy Starbucks drinks.

We could grab a meal or a drink and discuss property managers, contractors, lenders, Realtors, attorneys and all things having to do with Pueblo Real Estate investing.

FYI - I'm still up for that drink sometime.

[But that's not to say it's worth it as a pure INVESTMENT]. 

My advice is always straight up pure business.

I would like to now move to a new home that I purchase with home owners financing and house hack again while managing the other home as purely a rental property.
