With out a security deposit, we would not entertain improved repairs, only necessary ones.When we newely acquire a property we walked each unit with a hair dryer (checking electrical outlets), broom (unclog garbage disposals), and smoke dectors ( tell tenants not to take the batteries out).

They all use wired headphones (not blue-tooth because it kills the phone battery to quickly).6.

The tenants play a more vital role there.For example if you have a 3 unit retail strip center that is Starbucks, Verizon, and Batteries Plus corporate the commercial lender looks more with the length of primary lease term, how good the guarantee is on the lease for each tenant, quality of location,etc.You can have a professional commercial management company that manages millions of sq ft run the asset and the lender tends to feel comfortable.Retail the entry level is higher for quality usually a purchase in the millions minimally.

I heard that if you have a base, your lawyer will charger a cheaper rate to edit it, rather than drafting a new one.

You could also do a battery check in smoke and CO detectors every six months.

@Robert Politzer our company looks to buy properties up to 8M right now and specifically looks for an annual cap rate of 4-5% and will work anywhere in Manhattan outside of battery park.

Maybe moving the Raiders, Rams, or Chargers in.  

After all, that battery charge happened over 5 years ago...There has to be some sort of system I could put in place to provide some relief from the onslaught.

Enjoy the spoils of traveling in the developing world (God I have done that numerous times in the past and it always recharges your batteries in unexpected ways.)  

Put battery replacement on your PM list!
