HARD costs like water electric gas trash taxes are what they are, the SOFT costs are oftentimes manipulated to favor seller.

The new short wall in the guest bath (the one that's at a right angle to the back wall) would be a great place for a towel bar, or a couple of small shelves with towels on them, or maybe a little cabinet for the towels.The disadvantage is that if you don't move the main stack, I'm not sure if moving the guest toilet to the outside wall will work - since the stack is in the same spot, you have to make sure you'll still have enough slope on the pipe to the toilet, even with the toilet being further away from the main stack.  

Use paper towels because you don't want to spread the mold.Having said all of that, if this is your first rental; I'd look for something else. 

So far: new septic, 5 new hot water heaters, all new towels and linens, new soaps/shampoos, lotion etc.

There were a couple times we almost threw the towel in but the bigger picture kept us going.

We Airbnb our extra rooms but have thought about actually doing it for Travel Nurses because we already provide everything (beds, towels, etc.) only reason we haven't is because it's kind of nice to not have guests all the time.

@Barry Cooley To create the LLC it's 126$, then once you make the LLC, you go to IRS website, register the company and get an EIN number... then you go to Wells or where ever you bank and then open an account.

I have tenants who just moved into my condo and are requesting compensation for: (1) repainting (I had to repaint a wall in a different color than they originally saw when I took down my speakers); (2) loud bathroom fans in each bathroom; (3) Ceiling fans that are outdated but functional; (4) wall wiring so that their t.v. does not reveal the wires; (5) fridge filter which admittedly was old and they noted that my flooring has a soft spot but did not request replacement (yet!).

Unless you're talking about a large parrot, small birds sing softly during the daytime and are delightful to hear.
