not every wall mount fits every tv. if they put a wall mount up I'd say when they leave they must return it back to original condition. I wouldn't let them try and run the cabling in the wall.

if you can find their new address I would forward all photos and information to their new landlord.

I give a discount.
example rent is $950 due on the first. if paid on the 1st I discount $50 to $900
if paid after the 1st its $950. no late fees or grace period.
why because if rent is due on the first and you have a 5 day grace period then rent is really due on the 6th. and that's when they will pay.
my 2 cents

how should I structure this deal?
a fellow Reia fix and flipper has almost completed a rehab. but ran out of cash to finish. the project needs a new roof and some windows need to be replaced. all in all about $8000 to $10000 should cover it. he is looking for a short term loan maybe 2 to 4 months.
so how should I structure this?
-do I charge interest? and how much? it could take more than 4 months to sell. but it looks like it will go quick. not overpriced.
-do I just charge a flat fee?
- just take a percentage like I'm a partner in the deal?
if I did it like a short term loan say 10k @ 12% and it only goes 2 months not sure it would be worth it?
any help would be appreciated
Post: 8 Unit Multifamily - Fully Occupied

I had to read this twice. first, I thought you said you had a 5 plex @ $160000 fully occupied. and needing only 4 units updated.
after I reread it I see its an 8 plex that needed 7 units renovated.
sounds like an even better deal what are the rents and what class property is it?
