Nail holes in the walls are part of the tenant making the property a home and should be expected.It may stink to refund that money, but remember that people talk, and it's easier than you think to get a bad reputation as that landlord who takes people's security deposits.

I choose my battles and the use of my time, and so should you.

Tiffany and Susan lived downstairs.Both Bob and Tiffany had idiotically-written leases inherited from the former owner that allowed them to have roommates of their own choosing.

This takes a little more work, but it's the most fair and reduces the likelihood of tenants that squander utilities.If you choose #2 or #3, there are considerations:Start with an average.

So if you find one whose willing to operate in truth, honesty and integrity then they will not have a problem with the following (13) Rules of Engagement I have created when dealing with PMLs.1-I require that we transact all business using a local Title Company of my choosing, using their resources (i.e. title search etc), their loan servicing capabilities and an attorney of my choosing to draw up contracts. 

You can pay for a more thorough report if that is the route you choose. 

How did you come up with your multifamily criteria please explain your thought process behind choosing that criteria: I know this is going vary between individual. 

If you need a rubric on how to choose one call me.

I'm not sure what to say other than, these are the reasons wholesalers get bad reputations.
