All you do is push lies and tear down.I'm about building up and seeing success.

Considering the option of tear down and build a new house, I was wandering if there's an average percentage difference in insuring a new home vs an older house?  

However, EXAMPLE B has only herself to spend on, she is probably better at budgeting and living within her means, and she would be less wear-and-tear on the home.

@Adriese Williams follow landlord tenant laws with itemized list for security deposit and invoice requesting additional amounts that are over normal wear and tear and depreciation for age.

What they all said^^^^ STR is not an easy 'let's just do it for a month' kinda thing....Plus more wear and tear that you have to deal with when it really goes on the market.

Otherwise you or someone else will need to be there when they do the tear out.  

They have slowly added more and more family members to the property, which means more wear and tear.

And then a minimally upgraded flooring choice may translate to reduced wear and tear, and therefore, less future capex costs and higher perceived value to a tenant or prospective tenant.

Plus more wear-and-tear on the house and more cleaning to do (and pay for).I prefer @Bradley Buxton s idea of adding more amenities instead.

I always approach deals by tearing them apart and trying to find holes in them before issues arise during underwriting.
