I think they should've spent time on landscaping to dress up that beat up yard- that would have really made a difference.

I would educate the tenant on the cost of space heaters and encourage them to use the primary heat system and dress warmer.

You as the seller are responsible for performance not I.Next, never allow a buyer or seller to write anything in a contract, that's for the agent to do......unless they are experienced in such matters and that might have been dressed up a bit before presenting and signing it.

The closest thing to a "problem" that we ever experienced came from a lazy, underemployed, pot-smoking, entitled millennial who happened to be White.The below are just some of the tools in our toolkit that we use to evaluate prospective renters, but in our experience, we're much quicker to look at , amongst other things:   -  How people dress, regardless of their race/color    -  Their Payment History/FICO score (reflection of their honesty/reliability/honor in upholding their obligations)   -   Actual Landlord References going back at least 2 or 3 prior LandlordsAll other things being equal, we'd much sooner Rent to an articulate, well-spoken, well-dressed, punctual, gainfully-employed black individual than a late-arriving, sloppy-sounding, and sloppy-looking white dude.At the end of the day , it's about the Green(and the reliability of getting said Green) ..... not whether one is  black or white... 

Unfortunately, unless you're working for yourself, you have to dress the part on the interviews to get the job, and that includes having a degree on your resume.

Have someone take a close up picture with you wearing a dress shirt, tie and jacket.

I had family living across the street so they let me know when my dependable cleaner turned absentee, and I ran over there dressed for the office and got that place cleaned just in time.

Tenant Happy.Landlord sleepy.2 am Fire Dept. calls.Fire at such and such a place.We get dress.

Hi BPers,A part of seeking out lead and close on build in equity and good positive cash flow property, I realized that the ability to shop for LOW COST APPLIANCE AND MATERIAL to dress the property is also important.

I once owned a disposable swimsuit made out of paper, as well as a paper dress, worn by me, not a paper doll!
