It needed only minor work, including siding repair, painting, concrete porch repair, hard wired smoke detectors, drywall near the chimney that was leaking, roofing tar, and one floor needed to be lightly sanded and stained.

However, the tenants produced a ton of photographs and video evidence in the form of moving-in walk-through as well as moving-out video, as well as email exchanges between the tenants and property manager alerting about the carpet issues and staining of the paint (the hurricane blew off the roof and fascia, which left the interior of the house exposed to water damage for weeks).

We use the maple, but they are cherry stained, and you'd think they were cherry wood by just looking at them (though they don't feel like cherry when you use them).We've used them in about 9 or 10 houses now, and buyers are always blown away, thinking they are much more expensive than they are.

If I see damage and want to measure it, such as a carpet stain or hole in drywall, I hold the ruler next to it and take a photo.

I have had too many stains on those white ones, and the blue is beachy.  

Texas also clarified their wholesaling laws  this is coming to other states as well as the harm to the sellers becomes public knowledge  NOT all of course but we all know the transactions that are a stain on the industry by wholesalers that cant perform or do perform and skim equity.

You will replace chairs with broken legs, towels that are stained/missing, dishes that break or wind up in the rental car, ping pong tables that get jumped on..but you get paid every time they check-in, not like a LTR where the tenant can withhold payment if they feel you should come fix the toilet they clogged up.Hope this helps.

We keep a detailed list of what is done on what day and how long it takes.I'll paste in a portion of a move out accounting, you can see that we don't indicate who did the work, us or a third party:Itemized Repairs and Related Losses to get unit back to move in condition:$622.00 Replace carpet and pad (see comments) $24.00 Kilz primer to paint flooring to block pet odor from new carpet $10.00 Purchase and install missing end cap in fridge$300.00 Repaint unit: walls heavily stained $20.00 Replace door jamb in bedroom (materials) $6.00 Replace toilet seat (materials) $80.00 Labor to complete listed repairs and remove carpet Total Repair Cost: $1,062.00Necessary Cleaning to get unit back to move in condition, all at a rate of $18.00/hour: 3 hours to clean kitchen: empty fridge, clean fridge and stove, remove canned goods left, scrub counters and flooring2 hours to clean windows: remove dirt from sills, wash blinds1.2 hours to clean bathroom: scrub floor, remove hair from shower walls, clean sink and toilet4 hours to scrub living room and bedrooms: mop floor, clean walls, deodorize bedrooms, clean baseboards (very grimy)-4 hours for normal wear & tear/acceptable landlord cleaning for one year occupancyTotal Cleaning Cost: $117.00

And then just say a prayer that your tenant grows a conscience decides to get rid of the stain on his credit report.You said the damages amounted to about $2500.00 including back rent.
