Make sure you have six months of living expenses saved up, and don't any bridges down behind you at your old job. 

Jeff Bridges I would agree to paint and switch the hardware.

Hopefully you have good documentation of condition when you took over the property so that you can hold them accountable to any further damage.Others may have other ideas, but I think the lack of deposit is water under the bridge as well.  

Bridge debt disappears. 60-65% LTV becomes norm.

It's getting more and more on my nerves since 1) I told her I don't want him living here 2) he doesn't pay rent and 3) I don't want another roommate.I don't want to burn the bridge with my roommate because she's interested in renting my whole house when I move out, which is perfect.

We would probably make an initial increase of $75 and continue to raise rent by $25 to $50 per quarter until they are within a reasonable reach of market.It's been our experience that tenants who's rent is way below market are quite aware they have a good gig and most will not bolt if you work out a schedule to bridge the gap gradually.
