Jeez I tell you, yes she is now out my life but I have a bad feeling she will dispute the amount though feel I am covered as only charged $100 for cleaning and repair for excessive .5" holes everywhere, $25 for supplies, $80 for the smoke detector she took down and monoxide detecter she took with her plus $200 carpet cleaning and $325 to repair the holes.

I have a 6-plex that is currently covered and fully occupied.

If I wasn't in town I just rented out the room that I stayed in on Airbnb, which covered a chunk of travel expense. 

I am going to talk to the property manager tonight (as well as discuss the shoddy nature of the repair - just a small piece of wood attached that didn't even cover half of the broken window on the door leaving the house exposed, and had been that way for a week and a half when I saw it).

Larry Ashlock It sounds like you have all the bases covered here, haha!

@Jeff Kehl I have enough to cover around 250k but anything over will have to pull equity out my current properties.

In that scenario, a 4 plex would probably cover your mortgage with the other 3 units and then when you eventually move out and rent the 4th unit it will cash flow that much more for you.

So my two part question is as follows:Does anyone no if someone has actually negotiated their services to cover the down payment?

I started with a standard lease provided by my realtor and added an addendum to cover things that I felt the standard one did not cover.

If the appraisal is enough to cover cost of construction then I would not be required to put up any further down payment, if it is not enough I would be required to bring enough cash for the difference.
