But you really need to put apples to apples for anyone to say with any kind of certainty.

How about a 4K TV as a house warming gift?

People tend to believe what they see on the television whether it is true or not and most people just want to be lazy and tends to do investments late and how it is reported on TV which tends to be believed too much.   

Additionally, no trampolines, pools, satellite dishes, TV antennas, air conditioners, spas, swing sets, or other similar features shall be added to the Premises by Tenant unless express written permission is given by Landlord, which permission may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

Insurance is one of those things where you really have to understand it to compare apples to apples (i.e. same coverage/service to same coverage/service). 

The owner pays about $850-900 in utilities (electric/water/direct TV). 

Apple Pay, PayPal (Friends & Family), Venmo and more have no fees as well.

As far as the back door: I have noticed on TV shows that homes in Florida and Texas, etc. often have doors that open out.

A couple small pieces of advice when selecting contractors I would offer which is used in the commercial world is to always make sure you have (3) bids per job and level their scopes of work to make sure they are ‘apples to apples’.

The "HGTV Effect" where everyone with zero relevant experience wants to be a flipper "as seen on tv" can cause a lot of industry insider eyes to glaze over, myself included from time to time, granted.
