Think on it, how much does $250mnth buy for a furnace, a/c, water heater, carpets, really any reno at all?

they said around 90% of market value.I tried to get them to understand that this property needs a LOT of work, almost a full gut, some holes in walls (small) old carpet needs to be ripped up, i mean like the works on this thing, you can prob get away with touching up the kitchen since its real hardwood and the bathrooms as well but this prop needs at least 80k.Found out owner actually owes 140k on property, and zillow is zestimating it to be 127k.

Your property is fairly destruction proof, costs near nothing to maintain, yet you can charge above market rents.If your property is nicer (class B) where the carpet alone might be $6k or more to replace when the tenant spills hair dye everywhere, you won't be as happy as in the situation above.  

If heat goes out in the winter we drop off several units, so they can be placed in different parts of the house - including every room with water like kitchen and bathrooms.We also have dehumidifiers, carpet blowers, shop vacs, puddle-sucker pumps, extra hoses, extra sump pumps with battery pack, squeegees, and portable AC units ready to deploy. 

I wouldn't do pets with carpet but then again I don't do humans with carpet either. 

carpet? 

Some Instagrammable indoor-outdoor carpet, chairs, and umbrellas, and you can take it up a notch for less money.  

We have even first-responder equipment ready (carpet fans, dehumidifier, puddle sucker pump etc) to deal with the issue quickly and curb the damage, before we get the contractors in to do the repairs.

I remember visiting a buddy’s place in Austin years back..he had a similar setup over his detached garage and was convinced that adding a window unit and some carpet would let him count that space towards the home’s total square footage.

I hope you and your family are doing well and staying safe.
