C- My rentals are all near by, so an occasional property visit is usually accompanied by a nice walk and/or lunch at a restaurant in that area that I like.

you can try going to a nearby pet store and asking them for enzymatic spray; these sprays usually neutralize cat and dog urine smells.

I'm nearby in Fayetteville.

There are a couple of factories nearby - very blue collar. 

We figure a duplex style home is a good way to keep her nearby and since she pays rent anyways, why not have her pay us?

Like, would you let kid live there if they were going to school nearby?

He also said that today he will be working on a project nearby and I can visit him there.

I have been looking into nearby markets that seem to have more flexible seller terms, NC, Birmingham, even Indy and a few other markets.

It's just another tax, if a city charges me a fee to rent, there are plenty of other cities near by that will not and that is where I will invest.

I say that you and your husband should be on the look out for areas that are just starting to get some nearby commercial development, particularly if some major national stores are moving in.
