However, hauling away a truckload of items and cleaning beyond standard expectations could reasonably be charged to the tenant, as it goes beyond normal use.Goodwill Gesture: Since this tenant was great for 5.5 years—paying on time and caring for the property—you might consider waiving part of the cleaning cost as a goodwill gesture.

Sometimes those small gestures can save you headaches when construction dust starts flying.I’m curious... now that you’ve pulled off this deal, how would you approach finding your next project differently, and what kind of local contacts would you prioritize connecting with first?

Quote from @Janet Behm: Victor,How wonderfully generous of you!

We really appreciate the shared wisdom and generous community!

Assume break even cash flow while rented which includes a generous $600/mo repair fund. 

You aren't trying to nickel and dime people but just to curb abuse so it should be generous.

. $20k tax lien are two very different animals.What you are offering seems more than generous but again - it all depends. 

This can be costly for your property manager, and you may have to pay for their insurance policy, which can add unnecessary expenses to your budget.It strengthens your relationship with your property manager.Adding your property manager as an additional insured is a gesture of good faith that shows you are committed to protecting their interests.

@Shawn Ackerman would you be generous to share your process of assessing deals?

They may also feel obligated after this gesture to try and make rent on time even going through a hard time.
