Still, this is a poor time in the rental season and 1 months rent can be expected as a cost of vacancy (in addition to the cost to clean and touch up - $900) .Finally and I hope this is is the last one lol - Another tenant is moving out Jan 31st and this unit also requires a full cosmetic rehab.

Thanks for spotting that additional "real property" question. 

Its more like 98/2 with an additional 5% saying they do stuff so they can get a piece of someone else's hard work while they have not done anything and live in their mom's basement.All that said there is value well over the cost for those who apply themselves to deriving the value.

They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).
