Outside of real estate, I enjoy working out at the gym, woodworking and building furniture, playing tennis and doing any and every DIY project. 

A lot of lenders used to apply 35% for expenses, but in the last several years, the numbers for supplies, labor, utilities, taxes, etc… have increased significantly.Also take into account the age, occupancy and how has the property been maintained, this will affect the expenses too

Looks like the fence fell down at the end.For a weekend of work and a few hundred in supplies, I think you could make the place look much more appealable. 

But opening up vetted Coach programs would supply a lot more bandwidth to the REI community.  

Seems a bit high on the exp ratio near 43% but we do pay a premium for our solid cleaning lady, she also stocks supplies, runs errands and other duties for no "extra" charge.

There could be a "double whammy", a recession (which we seem overdue for) then a drop in interest rates which leads to a big influx of new housing supply. 

It supplies fuel to the east coast of the United States. 

We do have 1 mid term rental where we allow pets, but it's all hard surface flooring, fenced in backyard, and has pretty durable furniture. 

Lots of new supply now with reduced demand.

Your tenant stayed somewhere with bed bugs and brought them back in their clothes/luggage, or they bought used furniture that already had bed bugs.
