Based on his conduct, your hassel, your time, work and materials, you having to protect your interests and limit your potential liability, half is not out of the question in my mind!

However, if there is on-site management, it may be difficult for the taxpayer to materially participate because: 1.

Deposit only card so that they could go to any Wells fargo location or ATM to physically deposit the money.Like @Kyle J.says above it will largely be driven by what will work for your tenant and for you.

We are paying for the materials anyways so may as well get the points and rewards from the card!

I am attending a tax deed sale later this month and have driven by most of the listings and many of the ones I am interested in appear to still be occupied.

I am very driven & motivated.  

Make sure they use meter boxes with wide lids and yoke bars/setters so you can change the meter simply if it goes bad or pull it if your tenant doesn't pay (most have eyelets for locking it out but they are soft brass and easily cut).

Even though the project took about twice as long as I expected, the experience I gained and the general understandings I learned about organizing remodel projects, working with contractors, designing spaces, purchasing materials, and more was more than worth the lost time. 

The downside of this is that commissions are driven by sales, which effectively puts PM's time and resources second.

Our agent also advise us on the property value increases in the last 5 years for this zip code - made the decision much easier, being very numbers driven.
