So no - 10 yrs and flaming out - that's bs like a lot of what Ramsey sells.

There is a skinny wall at the end of the one hallway that has a hole and seems to be "soft" (you can push it in with little resistance).

The governor can no longer resist the pressure.  

I'd send a thank-you cake to my tenant for doing so - they had the forethought to protect the building after seeing their worldly possessions go up in flames.

While those are the exceptions, turning over units with pets takes longer and costs more.Yet, like a moth to flame, we haven't given up and are continually try to find ways to make better pet friendly (aka: pet proof) units that we can rent.

Going directly to a licensed professional each time a tenant calls is one of my 2 biggest resistances to hiring a PM.

Resisting urge to post story telling Jesus cartoon.I got hammered with some Jews and passed out for 3 days,....................

You can get some good stuff nowadays that looks like hardwood but is water resistant, etc., making it more tenant-proof.Oh, and my issue with the recessed lighting is trying to replace the bulbs.
