I don't like what their teeth and claws and pee and poop do to my property doors, door jambs, walls, wood floors, vinyl, carpets, window blinds, flower beds (cat poop and scratching), and back yard (dog poop and digging).  

And yes, as an agent doing a prelim on any potential listing is a given.Even though many sellers will lie through their teeth to me about property and estate issues, I gotta say I usually give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to lien issues.

One mile from where you live - that's the one you should "cut your teeth on" when it comes to learning the ins and outs of the landlording business.

I've used Venmo in the past and had no issues whatsoever. 

There was no furniture whatsoever, so I have now constructed and installed the kitchen and apartment furniture.

@Ian Barnes that's great advice , I was looking to offer them something at first I offered them like 250 and something for a moving truck but after talking to him I see that they were looking big bucks like a 1000 and I wasn't ready to part with it. honestly something snapped in me a few minutes ago and I went from being pissed off to just wanted to sink my teeth into.
