Tenants do not care about comodes leaking,faucets dripping,wet walls when they are not paying the bills.I would NEVER pay heat for tenants or buy a property like that.In older buildings you have to make sure you can convert the responsibility onto them.

hi arthur,I have before pictures, but the pee stains are very hard to detect. i do not have to replace the carpet and they ran the wet style vacuum on the carpet on numerous occasions. the discolorations though are still there. i charged them to repair a dark spot (left a bag of potatoes for a long time), but not for the pee stains.just wanted to see what everyone else does when tenants move out and the carpet has stains.

ALL insulation that ever got wet will need to go.

Then you have any doors that need to be replaced (if they were hollow-core and got wet, they may all need to be replaced).

Marc Bodinger I'm just starting to get my feet wet.

Then you can get your feet wet in the area you want to do business in.

It's a great way to get your feet wet in landlording.

Still wet behind the ears.

I've started off with companies that pay a decent interst rate but not the highest but have a long track record and as I'm getting my feet wet considering other options and meeting more individuals.

I can't wait to finally get my feet wet and start owning and selling property.
