Dogs, cats, iguanas, pot belly pigs, it does not matter.

Dirt everywhere, kitchen floor tiles and counter broken (as if someone was in a rage and banged some heavy pots on them), the bathroom vanity was destroyed, the front lawn was green and quite nicely looking yet they let it go dead even when we were paying for the gardener.

Two different GCs want to charge based on the gross SF which basically takes the property from 2600sf to 3200sfGross vs net: I don't think it matters I would guess the difference between the 2 would be around 10%. 

To add a monkey wrench in the works, the men who live in the next door condo are smoking pot. 

Essentially, GRM does the opposite of what I want because it focuses in on the gross, not the net! I

At the end of the day its just a pot of money to pay for things that don’t seem to go right!  

Let's say that a leprechaun's pot of pure 24K gold weighs 100 lbs, 20 lbs. for the pot, 80 lbs for the gold, just enough to be almost impossible to steal.

Ask around for leads on property managers that are getting tired because they may be willing to hand their contracts over to you or sell them real cheap.That should be enough to make you pee or get off the pot.

Once I fixed everything I already had all the furniture, silverware, pots, pans, etc., so I thought what the heck. 

It works out to about an 11% return cash on cash (on my $50k net I would get upon a sale) in that scenario.
