Lightbulbs, batteries in smoke detectors is on them and written in the lease.You can really do whatever you want if it is written in the lease contract but bear in mind they don't own the home and won't care on certain things.

They do not just stop paying because there is a door knob loss, or a smoke detector missing a battery. 

If not, that’s another story) No smoke and no mirrors.

Make sure you have smoke and CO detectors in appropriate places, GFCI outlets near water, functioning mechanicals, make sure everything is in good condition and you shouldn't have a problem.

I found out that was all smoke and mirrors.

They are even featured in articles, have been profiled and interviewed in the local media outlets, look really good online etc. and have a reputation around town as being highly successful because they have been busy buying a lot of units and making themselves look successful even while doing what I would consider very bad deals.It's smoke and mirrors. 

That does not build confidence in investing in an area no matter how many friendly seals bark at you.Do L.A. and California lose carbon credits for all the noxious smoke?

The guy on the internet has no clue/smoking crack/selling you something/all the above.Dale, there is no "Agreement between the NAR and the banks".

My other issue I think of when it comes to that is I'm in the process of switching everyone over to non smoking. 

Holy smokes, I just checked out your website with the neighborhood ratings.
