Thanks, Greg, do you mind sharing the mat for the 12.5% return you mention?

During the inspection we noticed some mouse traps and a few mouse droppings--no big deal. 

Dale Sinder - Consider reading "The Self-Directed IRA Handbook" 2nd Edition by Mat Sorensen.

Every tenant I have without a W/D complains of going to the laundry mat for various reason’s .its nasty ( especially in bad neighborhoods) it’s time consuming ,it’s very expensive and often the machines are Grungy from folks taking their greasy mechanic and oil field clothes there .

I thought about buying a big plastic mat to place under the cat litter boxes but if I do so, wouldn't I tell them that I am OK with it?

They will stay longer if they don’t need to go to the laundry mat .

The report indicated there was evidence of water in the basement, which has been a fleeting issue for us, but likely since resolved by a cheap solution -- I found a corrugated rubber mat company that created a thick/heavy mat built to cover flat bilco basement doors.

In lower class areas the laundry mats are very expensive and downright dangerous .

I seriously considered becoming a haz-mat specialist with all the lead paint and asbestos in these houses. 

No dressing up here but did take my daughter around the neighborhood dressed as a mouse.
