However, they keep leaving a pile of junk (boxes, furniture, etc) out on their driveway.

We'll upgrade a few things, but much of the furniture came with it.

How about this idea.What if your Dad sold his hoarder house and put the hoard in several small storage units.Then you and he move in together and house hack something bigger (but that unit is known as YOUR unit--he lives with you).Both share management responsibilities sensibly and also profits and losses as partners.All new hoarded hoard things MUST go into a small storage unit.Or keep the hoarder house and rent it out--but that keeps your down payment cash pile the same.You can buy all new furniture and mattresses at IKIA or Target and have a fully furnished apartment on the cheap.

Closing costs can be thousands of dollars, and you may need to foot the bill for inspections, home repairs, or even fun things, like new furniture.

So far this year, it's covered:Porter services for bulky trash removal for the 108 units.Paying off the loan that was used to replace all the vinyl siding with LP Smartside on all the units and paint them.Maintenance and repairs on all the external fire alarm system stuff.Regular landscaping.Tree removal after the big freeze.Regular powerwashing.Weekly litter pick up services.Pool services.And that's what I can think of off the top of my head. 

My two teens and I spent the night moving furniture to the street for bulk trash pick up, cleaning and emptying the house. 

Antique furniture, really nice one-of-a-kind artwork and wall hangings.Now if the guest mentions a birthday/anniversary/special occasion etc, we will leave some treats, even beer, wine or champagne depending.....There is no set way to do it, just go with your gut......what would you want to see when you walk in the door?

She is seriously on top of her game when it comes to taking care of the two children we raised and both children are currently in college to get Phd's for math and the other for some sort of manufacturing of drugs )or something).Say what you want about being a gold digger, but we live in a commercial building on concrete floors with zero furniture with the exception of mattresses and when she shops for clothing she does buy some Guess clothing, but she is super frugal and loves to purchase shirts and items for as little as $3.

The renters typically are not moving furniture around.
