Or they can drill a hole through the closet in the master bedroom so the network cable can be routed from outside and the modem hooked up in the master bedroom.The whole point of doing this is to secure a modem and router in the master bedroom since my friend will Airbnb the unoccupied rooms but doesn't want to leave the modem/router in an unsecured location for security.1) If she chooses to route the network cable from the closet, is there a good way to lay down the cable so people don't trip over it? 

Given you have so many things going on simultaneously, no one would/should fault you for going the safe route of securing a primary residence first.

If it needs 10k in repairs then I subtract 10k from my 60 Xs.In your last question are you asking how much you should charge for a security deposit? 

What I can see, is a whole week wasted with zero effort put towards securing a deal you can sell.Refocus, do some mailers, put up bandit signs, knock on doors, find some property locators, D4D, etc. 

I did already collect a 1.5 month security deposit. the most I can legally collect in NJI am a bit pissed off that I was lied to, but at this time I have no interest in evicting her since she pays on time and I know I would lose at lease 1 months rent while looking for another tenant.

I believe the value goes up based on how ornate they are, but any are worth at least something per section, or at the very least their weight at a scrap yard.

It was the same on this one, but since I am at a different point in my career it was less impactful to me personally and I can now weight the interest cost compared to the DIY.

@Drew Sygit is correct, Detroit will offer a higher return, however, the risk is greater because you will need to secure the properties which are added cost.

Direct Operating Cost Pass-Through EscalationThis type of rent escalation is similar to tax pass-through escalation, except that your rent increases when operating expenses like heating, electricity, maintenance, and security go up in cost.

Also, can be a value add for the future since it is an added security measure.
