HomeAway was terribly run from the get go and now the warts and hairs are becoming evident. 

(Plus, I really wouldn't want to leave all that dog hair in someone else's place.)

Sell the property with inherited tenant to a bulldog who can deal with the tenant who is entitled to you treating them to a massage, craft beers, acrylic nails and hair to be done every week.

This second thing may seem trivial or meaningless to your bottom line, but I see it as a way to keep people happier longer, which may also keep them out of your hair and keep them renewing a lease.The numbersPurchase price: $325,000All-in monthly expenses: $2,050-- That includes principal, interest, taxes and insurance (they put 25% down); 5% savings each for repairs and CapX, 5% for vacancy and about $200 for utilitiesRents: $2,900 -- That's an average of $725/room, though two of the rooms were for more and two were for slightly lessCash flow: $850/monthAgain, the above numbers show me that anyone wanting to house-hack in Denver could do this and live rent free, or even cash flow a touch.

@Brian Washburn Just my Two Cents here but most people like having carpet in the bedrooms since it doesn't look as dirty as hard flooring (i.e. dust/pet hair).

We do this because we know pets come with odor and hair and we don't want to ruin our nice furniture.

Can you tell me again where you found the sock and the hair tie yesterday.

the gal, a hairdresser, was cutting my hair 1 day. she told me they do cash in the envelopes for food, rent, savings, etc. said her dad raised her that way.I thought, "these people should meet dave ramsey!"

I think in California you are required to give a Legal Reason, to make sure you aren't discriminating against purple haired people and such.Not that I'd ever do that ...

Some beginners come here with some real hair brained conceptions they "heard from some guru type".
