I have been racking my brain over the TN situation and done literally about 10 hours of google searches and reading.

We've had interesting things go missing after a move out - toilet paper holders, sink stoppers, the wands from the vertical blinds, an occasional towel rack.

And if you are raising money, you aren't borrowing the down payment, but even that money is not likely to be flowing in until you have already racked up a reasonable amount of out of pocket expenses.Then onto Taylor's comments.  

Even right now I’m trying to figure out as many ways possible to build my credit without a credit card because I’ve seen the sometimes crippling debt people rack up from credit cards and I really want no parts of that.

Shaw LVP (wooden plank mimicks) are great, Mannington Adura is great, and Floor & Decor has a NuCore line that is very good with the underlayment (sound dampening attached).

The bar analogy is a great one @Jon Crosby We have a set rule that 2 weeks before any open date are friends and family eligible with the exception of peak season weeks in the case of someone really wanting an advanced booking.But in general, if the date is open on our calendars and it's 2 weeks or less out, it's all yours for a reduced rate.That rate is our rack rate + 10% usually.

FYI: The spots where two different paint colors meet are called "cut lines"Then in a bthroom, they did not replace the old wooden framed window and the window had a bunch of caked-on dirty spots and caulking - this is a no-no as its shows a lack of quality and when prospective buyers see items like this, their natural feeling is to suspect that other work was done poorly.My best advice is to not leave anything in the home that looks like poor quality work.

I appreciate you comming up with objections, Ive racked my brain and I cant see too many reasons not to pursue this.

Or they rack up a huge bill and the neighbor wants you to pay because teh tenant wont?  

Ryan,a rotted wooden window hardly dicatates there is mold present.
