If a broker/agent hones their craft over the years they get extremely good at what they do.

Talked with a seasoned owner this weekend, and he was telling me he is meticulous about checking/adding smoke detectors when he gets a new place.  

I'd imagine it's not easy to make money on them since most of your clients aren't wealthy are doing it for love of the craft. the real money would be in building out these theater or studio spaces, but as a rental you won't expect great upswings in your cash flow but you would be likely immune to downturns in the market

The clients that tend to be more meticulous seem to have it correct at the end of the year.A benefit to doing it during the year is your financial statements more accurately reflect where your costs are going, instead of just at the end of the year.

You're not financing anything do this, you can craft the requirement as a tenant reserve instead of more in lease deposits.  

I like the way you're crafting your deals.  

Hi guys, So, I am a recent tenant that moved out of a Los Angeles, CA unit (2737 Francis Ave) owned by LBJ Realty Holdings, LLC and Hollywood Fountain, LLC and am curious if any tenants/ landlords here can explain this away:So, being a meticulous and obsessive neat freak, I had documented with photos and videos when I had moved in and out of the unit (all original condition, any damages, etc.).

All of the bedrooms have plush carpeting for more comfort and the bathroom has been meticulously designed to enhance every square inch of space.

The owner who did the work was meticulous. 

We have spent 10's of thousands of dollars crafting and tweaking all of our agreements with our atty over the years and continue to do so to this day.
