(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 is one of the issues a title company/insurer clears by getting the sellers to affirm either (i) no work within the last X days (X often being the statute of limitations for filing a ML) or (ii) any work has been fully paid for. 

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.

For decades in CA, to obtain a contractor’s license, one had to “affirm” that he/she/it had a net worth of $2,000.

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

However, I wouldn't believe an affirmative answer - it will be shown in their personal joint checking acct statements - every month 

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!"
