They have student loans, credit card debt, 18 months same as cash for disposable furniture and at least one car payment.  

That's it, so income less those expenses is $80,300/yr.I wasn't given the details of the seemingly high utility costs as all tenants pay their own gas, electric and trash disposal.

I havent worn a disposable type in 10 years unless in a pinch.

I literally replaced one garbage disposal, a garage door opener, and a microwave in 17 years of rent.

You’re quick to jump and say a homeowner should have reserves to weather cancellations outside of what was originally agreed upon, but not acknowledge that the guest has disposable income to take a vacation.

We are now at a place in our life where we don’t have gobs off disposable income but we certainly have more than enough to meet our needs.

If the paint needs to be removed, before you can paint again (exterior), the painter needs to be certified and know how to capture and dispose the removed lead paint.

The tenants left behind a lifetime worth of stuff for me to dispose of :( so yes do your due dilligence find out exactly what you are buying.  

I'm curious if anyone has experience with having to dispose of construction material and the costs. 

Have hand sanitizer on hand for both of you, even use disposable gloves.
