Toilets aren't worth it, because they are like $100 new and the effort to remove the toilet from the wax ring without breaking it and then cleaning off the wax ring to get a good seal when reinstalled just isn't worth the effort. 

Then warranties and legal recourse for work has a clean paper trail from who paid to who did the work.  

You're not trashing the packages - you are "maintaining your property" by cleaning up debris on the porch. 

We've both been very transparent and clear about money, cleaning up the building, and we both serve in the military.

My financials on the property are strong and clean.

Unit B gets a clean slate on your books, and it would fall on the seller to try and collect from Unit B for the previous month. 

Which allows me to have access to a healthy HELOC but puts buying out of reach.

It was very clean but not as modern-looking as the subject property I am interested in. 

I'm guessing you have the security deposit and can keep that to cover rent, damages and clean up.

But you may want to consult with an attorney on all of the above to be crystal clear about where you stand legally.You could also give the tenant a clean slate and just expect them to start paying rent to you after closing.
