Your fire point is actually valid and I didn't really think of that (but I did think of invisible mouse traps and I am pretty sure no one else would have thought of that).With that being said I would send a couple guys from your crew over to screw some plywood up over the easiest opens to break in with.You may even want to get some cheap battery operated motion sensor lights that may scare them if they see the lights turn on.

The charger on my Craftsman just died; it was a crappy drill where the batteries never could hold a charge for long anyway.

With out a security deposit, we would not entertain improved repairs, only necessary ones.When we newely acquire a property we walked each unit with a hair dryer (checking electrical outlets), broom (unclog garbage disposals), and smoke dectors ( tell tenants not to take the batteries out).

They all use wired headphones (not blue-tooth because it kills the phone battery to quickly).6.

The tenants play a more vital role there.For example if you have a 3 unit retail strip center that is Starbucks, Verizon, and Batteries Plus corporate the commercial lender looks more with the length of primary lease term, how good the guarantee is on the lease for each tenant, quality of location,etc.You can have a professional commercial management company that manages millions of sq ft run the asset and the lender tends to feel comfortable.Retail the entry level is higher for quality usually a purchase in the millions minimally.

I am currently on the last module of the beginners course and extremely excited.

Free real estate module reconfigures the database for you.  

In regards to training, I have a training module in my CRM/Project Management system and generally try to write everything down step-by-step and do a screencast so they will know exactly what they are supposed to do.In addition to training them, I would say one of the biggest tasks is making sure you hire the right people.

You could also do a battery check in smoke and CO detectors every six months.

@Robert Politzer our company looks to buy properties up to 8M right now and specifically looks for an annual cap rate of 4-5% and will work anywhere in Manhattan outside of battery park.
