Do your research on the south loop and all the outdoors stuff in south Knox because there is a large desire to live near these!

If you go to home depot and spend $500 on materials, but don't have the receipt, how would the IRS know you did not purchase a new grill or patio furniture for yourself.

I considered a spiral staircase but from what I’ve read on here tenants hate them , partially due to the difficulty of moving furniture up them.

Property is SFR with a big outdoors space but the pet was in the home when I did a walk-through which suggests they'll have the pet inside the home pretty often. 

And to top it off:Very little furniture, lots of dump runs, sometime the grass and landscape get neglected for a couple weeks, always sweeping and vacuuming up dust, painters tape stuck to your clothes, joint compound imbedded into your jeans, tools scattered around the house, half a wall is opened, trim isn't done....

Baseboard has its disadvantages too because you have to run that radiator basically along the base of the whole wall which moves the furniture out a few inches.

Furniture, jewelry, paid off cars or a lien on your personal home?

I think people are a lot better off with an expandable wired indoor/outdoor camera system.

I really like the landscaping and outdoor spaces.

They trashed it on the way out - literally throwing garbage all over the outdoor area and I received a violation from the city and had to spend about $1K to get it cleaned up.I eventually sold the property at a loss about 5-6 months after purchasing it - around mid 2018.
