Had about 54 cats that animal rescue pulled out of it.They got into the crawl space vent guard that was broken.The owner was a woman who loved pets but had mental health issues.Luckily the house only had a tiny mortgage on it relative to it's value.Cat urine was everywhere.We were able to eliminate it everywhere accept one room where she closed the door and 25 cats were in there.To get rid of that smell you had to tear the sheetrock down and replace the subfloors and Kilz everything.I sold it and collected my check to a cash investor.The lady kept 3 cats that were deemed healthy and moved into a big apartment complex facility that was a loft style with concrete floors.It was an old factory conversion into a 300 unit apartment complex.Had another property I did a Interior BPO on in pre-list for an REO.Owners had left dogs inside living there for 4 weeks with food to survive on.There were literally thousands of terds on every level of the 3 story house along with urine and clothes left behind.This was a few years old house in an upscale neighborhood of 500,000 to 600,000 homes.The neighbors came by and couldn't believe what they were seeing.So I will again say it's not about the pets but the owners who take care of them.On credit in my area most tenants have bad credit.If they have great credit they are buying a house for dirt cheap.The only reason they wouldn't is if they are staying for a short time or in transition.Why pay some landlord who could get foreclosed on 800 a month in rent for a 3 bed 2 bath when you can buy one for cheap.In my area you could get a mortgage and pay 500 a month for that same house.Many times people with good credit are ticking time bombs.They actually are not a great candidate but have just kept acquiring more debt to pay what they have until reaching critical mass.These types carrying a bunch of debt have bankruptcy in there future.When you rent to tenant out of a chapter 7 many have a fresh start and have income to pay the rent.So every renter is a case by case basis even though there are common traits involved.

I’m not listing because the only listings are potential short sales with tiny commissions.

If you compare a 30 year old home that hasn't been updated to a newish home, that 30 year old home will simply LOOK dated with a tiny kitchen, laminate cabinets, etc.

Colorado Allows Tiny HousesWeren't you and @Mindy Jensen talking about this the other night?

Our tiny town has been very generous especially in light of what our economy is doing. 

I just started looking into mobile homes and possibly a "tiny house" that I can put on Air B&B.

I want this truck but my properties are like 30 miles apart so I suspect getting this kinda truck to drive between properties will kill me in the end.Unfortunately I cannot fit drywall in my tiny altima coupe.

This results in the situation we have today in Denver  - a situation where a very tiny fraction of available housing is in the form of condos - a small percentage compared to other similar markets.  

However, don't forget to add the 15.3% self employment tax.Here is a website that may help - http://taxfoundation.org/article/2016-tax-brackets ThankYou Sylvia B So if 3 family members go in together and buy a house for 50k it's block in good shape recent flooring & AC , but it just needs the tiny kitchen diy updated & minor cosmetics and heat and cooled sq ft needs to be updated at the county to include additions.; then they sell it for 90k .Do each of the 3 family members get taxed individually on their individual total income?

The exception is I have a tiny cottage that a tub would make the bathroom awkward so it just has a shower.Not sure about your spacing but if you have room to build that wall and shelf it or something that would get your tub away from the window.
