I came from doing everything self motivated and always had a battle with all the things i do in life, and continue to try and cultivate positive self-belief.

Part of the reason for this is that this past year was a tough year for my Dad, as he lost his father, and there was an unfortunate legal battle (which has since calmed down), with an unfortunately uncommunicative sibling in charge of the estate. 

Also, a freshly cleaned and nice-smelling home makes a great first impression!

Then there are calls about all sorts of minor stuff - and just odd behavior, like calling the gas company at midnight because they thought they smelled rotten eggs….. getting our gas shut off for a day, bringing over questionable house guests, bringing over a small dog and housing it without asking, and just overall kind of being a mess.

Purchase price: $265,500 Cash invested: $62,387 Sale price: $430,000 The biggest challenge on this one was the smell from the animals kept in this home.

If you're successfully setting appointments, then kudos to you because this is 90% of the battle.

Im sure going after the city would really only be effective in a civil class action law suit where there is enough people and $$$ on board.Over a 6-12k fix, and battling the city alone you'll spend more money and time IMO. 

I have family in Battle Creek.

In cold markets, guests like to come home to a nice hot dinner (not to mention the good smells that fill the house as a result 😊)Try to put yourself in a guest's shoes and ask yourself what you'd want to have accessible to you when traveling to a mountain market - the little things will be most appreciated by guests!

That's why it's better to establish a relationship with an eviction attorney now, especially if you anticipate a possible battle with one of the tenants down the line.It's certainly good that you're asking these questions now.
