Not to often in our case but I have done the following:I actually drove the items over to them on the way home from the house.

I'm trying to understand specifically which items add/deduct more than others.

Under New York law, landlords have 14 days after the tenant vacates the property to either return the full security deposit or provide an itemized statement indicating any deductions made from the deposit.If the landlord deducts any expenses from the security deposit, they must provide the tenant with an itemized list detailing each deduction and the corresponding cost.

I like when tenants bring their own frig, washer and dryer, the more heavy items they bring, the longer they stay. 

If the property is in service (advertised for rent), you can maximize the de minimis safe harbor rules which is where the $2,500 per invoice or per item comes into play.

I've got a good list of necessary items I know I want to rehab, however with a portion of the rehab money should I a) purchase a new furnace/air conditioner/water heater? 

Regarding borrow's DTI, Chase thinks that this item is not that important.I wonder will my high DTI impact the loan underwriting?

I would be very careful with compensating tenant's for maintenance items that were repaired quickly.

It requires you to fix necessary items that permit occupancy, IE, functioning windows and doors, proper egress, working MEPs.

Lots of networking opportunities and action items.
