When neighbors complained about the lawn when grass grew to almost a foot tall, I paid him a visit, and found the once clean shaven man I once knew had a beard over a foot long and had not had a haircut for a good six months.

Tenants can’t clean up after themselves much less their 4 cats

@Mark Smith They  need 12 month clean history   of mortgage to cash out. 

 ( i have broke that rule) Painting a bare basement is all I do to my rentals , clean no maintenance .

She said she still had a little to get, but I’m thinking she was just going to clean up all the trash...but for whatever reason quit responding.

It's got some deferred maintenance so our contractor is slated to start work this coming week, new roof, bath remodel, windows etc.Now I'm wondering if we should be adding a third bedroom instead of just cleaning it up.

Along with a rental checklist that states how much will be charged for each burnt out lightbulb and how much for oven cleaning etc.

Go over and clean the condensate line , takes about 5 minutes 

If I was running another option on this deal, I'd adjust the interest rate to 5.5-6%, put 20% down, include $5-6,000 in initial repair (even if that's just cleaning and painting), reduce the monthly expenses to 8%, include PMI at $100/mo and then see where that lands you.

With her hard work and additional income, we recently refi'd the house to clean up most of the divorce debt.
