Frequently we will replace light fixtures and vanities that function but are eyesores.

I should be closing on a house in Auburndale (7th property in Central Florida) in early June and will be down (I live in NY) at that time to paint and coordinate some light rehab.

The home was totally remodeled in 2008 ( new windows, doors, sliding glass doors, deck, wall retexture, tile and wood flooring, carpets in bedrooms, paint, cabinets, bathrooms tiled, shower tiled, new vanities, new kitchen cabinets, granite tile counters, light fixtures, forced air unit installed, new appliances, everything.

I have a few questions; hopefully I can get some light shed on.I had a lead come in from a gentleman whom inherited a property from his dad along with his 6 siblings. 3 of the siblings are deceased now.

You could rig up a battery power & timed light / radio inside if there is no power on at the property, all goes to help with the look of occupancy.

That has to cover every item in the units that can and will wear out (flooring, paint, cabinets, faucets, lighting, appliances, etc) as well as capital reserves for big ticket items (roof, HVAC, siding, windows, plumbing, electrical etc). 

Perhaps this course lights a fire under someone after they drop that much cash into the program. 

I'll check out our Habitat store (I can usually find good deals on lights there) but we use the big box stores (Lowes, Home Depot) for most of our items. 

I appreciate the replies, including the PMs I received.I think in the back of my mind, I knew it wasn't going to be that easy, but you never know until you ask questions...Beyond just the complexity of the situation, regardless of the risks, the other problem I foresee is that the "predatory" nature that might be construed from this could shine a negative light on my real estate rental business as a whole.  

Busy intersections with stop lights seem to work best.
