There really is no downside, the only reason I've heard for people not getting licensed is that they don't want to have a governing body to answer to.

I have another investor that doesn't want a roof with less than 10 years, but the nastier the HVAC the happier he is because it smells like money to him.

The tenants didn't regularly pick up after their dogs, so according to our contractor it always smelled like dog poop when you walked by or walked up to the house. 

When we went through the potential property I bet there were 40-50 dead bats in various parts of the home & the smell was terrible.

When it starts looking like a pig, smelling like a pig...I do not want to put lipstick on it and try to convince someone else it is not a pig, so then I would bail..

I spent the majority of 2019 getting back on my feet (literally) and figuring out my new body, disability, and life.One year later, I've moved back to Denver for work.

No, but the next self shower walks into a smell they don't like and just leaves.

Can it be as simple as just beginning to use a business name in your marketing without formally filing it with any governing body?

Tenants have sewage coming up in their tub.. that smells like Sh*t to them but smells like a discount for you!

I guess the faint smell of bleach also had a psychological affect that made the bathrooms seem cleaner.Anyhow, after I read that, I began to notice that best businesses all had clean bathrooms.My point with this is to make sure that there's a faint hint of bleach to trip that psychological trigger that tells prospective renters that your property is really clean.
