I would say that you should be prepared to cleanup and replace items upon move-out if you have college students.

Their allowances for these items came to $59K and their total price is at $179K.

If I look beyond the construction tasks and attempt to add in other work related items I get lost.  

I had about 30 items to repair / complete (some weren't really repairs, but were items that just weren't complete at the time of inspection).

The implementations I've seen use a third party ECP and billing partner with tenant chargebacks through a simple lease line-item.

You should always list all detachable items like washer and dryer with a FULL description in your lease contract that belong to you.

One item that I would take exception to is the manner in which they dismiss the expense of developing a park.

After I asked what the $500 was for they said "lock changes and bulk item pickup."  

Of course, for important items email and mail are in order.

For example, I added a $3000 privacy fence that I would like to be able to depreciation.I plan on having a cost segregation study performed so that I can depreciate the personal items over 5 years instead of 27.5 years.In my case, I think the adjusted basis will just be the purchase price minus the personal items.
