@Mark Brogan hit the nail on the head when he told you to jump in the car with the family and drive to areas you know.

Well if you can rip up the carpet and the underlayment and the tacking nails just do that and get a price with that part of te job completed.  

People can laugh but I will put specific things on the addendum to the lease - I just rented to a woman with 2 dogs, nice dogs that are crated and clean, but the house has hardwood floors, and my addendum specifically reads "dog's nails will be kept clipped so as not to cause damage to hardwood floors".

Make sure your hanging stripes get nailed into studs and not flakeboard!

@Aaron Mazzrillo hit the nail on the head.

You guys hit the nail on the head.  

Each method serves a different purpose; hammer for nails, screwdriver for screws.Most of the time it's enough for smaller deals to figure the cash on cash returns.

I'm handy ( more than the average hammer & nail beginner ), I learn fast, and I enjoy the hell out of it.

There would be an external management co, but I would like to be able to personally drive a nail.
