Work on getting the seller to commit to a price of 450k or somewhere around there so that you can put in some money and still maybe have a little equity.Find out the real motivation of the seller and show him or her how you will relieve their pain.

I painted and put in a backsplash in the kitchen, thats it.

@Matt R.Thanks Matt we were going to put in a laundry room and rubs the vents so maybe we will just do that and not supply the appliances.

The old toilet used to clog sometimes, and I got tired of wasting repeated $75 service charges, so I spent $100 to put in a new toilet, and no more clogs.Things don't break as much as you might think.

Now, I put in the smoke detectors that have the 10 year battery and it simply screws in without being hard wired into the house.

This PM has those fees regardless the price.My properties are at market rates(I did spruce them up with some fresh items-paint/hardware as I increased the tenant's monthly rate this last year :)  Maybe that shows my soft side but it softened the blowAgain, my worry is about possible legislation being put in place because of fees such as these.I am also not hating on PMs  They do provide a valuable service and when I finally do fully retire will be utilizing that service--although the old saying "No one cares for your property as well as you" creeps in my mind.Again, Thank you all for the discussion and making me think..."

They're easier to manage and the ordering rules around taking distributions make the Roth IRA more liquid (ie, in a Roth IRA you can take the money you put in out without taxes or penalties, with a Roth individual 401(k) a portion of the distribution would be subject to taxes and fees). 

Im also transparent ,So there's definitely some things i want to put in there of my own.

I put in $19,000, my job puts in $19,000.
