These factors range from if it has been a rental for a majority of that time or, if you owned it and lived in it while always taking your shoes off while being in that house. 

OTOH, Goods that are acquired with the intention of selling, like shoes in a shoe store, a house you're rehabbing or a property you buy and sell are inventory.

vikram, i think all rehabbers/investors probably have some level of OCD...but yes, i should've been more clear...lol...i don't like roaches either for the record...this tenant keeps his place spotless, which i love, and maybe comes across as OCD only in comparison to other tenants..he made us take off our shoes when we walked across the laminate floor in his kitchen to do a repair...not many tenants are that clean and so i definitely want to keep him..sadly, roaches are somewhat a result of a lower income apartment building

This is a business, it takes time and "shoe leather" and face to face "soft skills".What are soft skills?

If I were in your shoes I would re-fi those things ASAP.   

Hello Charlie, I was in your shoes not too long ago.

I waste this little bit of money eating out, buying shoes, buying my grandson whatever he asks for so I guess it's time to put it to work. 

Let me tell you right now, if you can’t put yourself in another person’s shoes and see a problem from that person’s perspective with empathy, you will fail miserably in the “landlording” business and in life.

Put yourself in the renter's shoes.

Any property owners out there that can put themselves in his shoes and let me know from his perspective if you would except an offer like this. remembering that if he doesn't want to sell i will be buying something soon and moving out so the space will be vacant and cost some money to get ready for next renter even though we have kept the place fantastic and clean as if it where our own.Thanks
