Having something in writing is always a good idea, especially outlining what is and isn't shared (e.g. common space, garage, outdoor space) with others.  

I've done some outside projects before but I'm looking to tackle bigger projects and need more precision.  I saw a youtube video about the following level and it's exactly what I want but I don't want to spend that mu...

if anybody questions the sparse furniture , tell them your wife kicked you out .

As 88% of all households still want to own a home, as they do, they are pumping millions into the retail sector, as they purchase furniture, lawn mowers, trash cans, dishes, etc. to outfit and maintain their homes.As someone in the trenches daily, I can tell you that the market still feels healthy to me.

Scuff marks from moving furniture in or out is what I consider normal wear and tear unless it's extreme.

Pros:Fewer days on the market (aka reduce vacancy) from additional marketing time and lining up the tenant before the existing tenant has vacatedStaged homes rent better than one w/o furniture (although rare the tenant has good enough style :))Ability to perform an informal "move-out" inspection, which provides a better idea of the turnaround time before the new tenants can move-inTenants may tidy up the place a bit and get a head start on their move-out process (rare, but worth pointing out)Cons:Reduced rent --> assuming some of the above bullet points are a stretch from reality (aka staged home and tidy up the place), the clutter and style may detract tenants from wanting to move-inInconvenience to the existing tenantsCoordination of the showings requires contacting the existing tenantsI know many SFH will list the property while other tenants are in it, but you must take it on a case-by-case basis, and it's heavily dependent on the existing tenants.

:P Hubby works at UPS 15 hrs a week for incredible insurance, he owns and landscaping business, makes furniture, does odd jobs and recently buying at auctions and reselling.

From the windows, I saw there was a big mess inside the house: very dirty carpet; old and dirty furniture randomly stacked on each other; all kitchen cabinet drawers were pulled out; no clothes, dishes or food, no any sign that someone lives there.
