This is part of the learning experience.As a former carpet cleaner if it is cat urinating forget about it and you will %99 of the time have to replace carpet, pad and possibly tack strip and base trim not too mention sealing cement floors etc.Dog urine can be easier to deal with depending on dog.

I pointed out that after factoring for the real vacancy rate and real PM cost (13.8%) with lease up fees and etc, those investments were nearly cemented in stone negative after accounting for inflation and the known averages of no appreciation.

Are you looking at tenants who are Doctors, lawyers & dentists & other professionals, or are you looking at teachers and bus drivers?

We filled in a pool, that had a cement apron and vinyl liner,, we put back in partial clay and sand, it would have been better if we had used all sand.. we would get standing water after large rain storm.. city made us remove all concrete, mechanical, and liner only thing they would allow was small amount of loose chunks of concrete size of basket ball,  other wise it all went. it cost us about 4 grand to fill in the pool.. 

We had a cement area in the garage and ceramic tile in entry way that was urine soaked to the point that the urine had actually seeped thru the grout in the tile entry way and soaked the wood subfloor.  

Almost looks like some type of cement board product.

There are even two large holes where it appears somebody poured the cement around the base of trees, which are now long dead.

I am brand new to North Carolina and to real estate investing.I am currently working over at Camp Lejeune as a military dentist. 

I think it would look good with a fiber cement shingle or certainteed fake slate in a charcoal grey for the roofing material maintaining the angle of the roof and then doing horizontal siding over the garage roof area.

They even have reservations cemented in for some peak periods over the next 2 years.
