For properties that are having non-emergency work done, especially if it is something for the convenience of the tenant, and the tenants are highly functional adults, I am fine with having the contractor make arrangements with the tenant - especially when there's not a "nail-down" time, like often happens with HVAC.

You pretty much nailed it.

If the hinge pins are worn, the door can move a little bit left and right in the frame - imagine that the door is closed and you are pushing sideways on the door knob, pushing the knob towards the frame, as if it were a sliding door - that's the direction it would move in.To check the pins, you can either use a screwdriver to pry the hinge pin up a little and then pliers to remove it the rest of the way, or use a hammer and a nail to knock the hinge pin out of the hinge. 

., Taylor nailed it.

Dion and Jay hit the nail on the head - again.For investors considering investing in NPN residential o/o, here is how a typical situation plays outA bank, bank holding CO, or asset management and disposition CO puts together a package of say 1,000 NPNs, and asks for bids.  

I think @Alex Franks and @Jay Hinrichs pretty much nailed itm, but I will expand just a bit and offer a few different perspectives.It is a different game and really a different industry.

Double encapsulated and drive to the dump,,,hit the up button on dump trailer and drive away,,,done deal and CHEAP.I can not see how you can pound nails thru it and not get pieces under new siding and make it badly wavy. 

But I don't want to be held liable if someone steps on a nail or falls and breaks a leg.   

Never ever rely on a tenant to be responsible for anything, they will prove you wrong every single time.I would not trust a tenant to be responsible for a gold fish.You hit the nail on the head about responsibility.

If the numbers don't entice them though, it doesn't really matter how much trust you've built.If you really want to nail down how to pitch someone, don't think of it as a pitch, but think of it as a dialogue.
