But after a few years, I got really sick of being kept up late, dirty dishes always in the sink, having random girlfriends or other people come through the house, A/C running colder than I'd like, etc.In hindsight I wish I was more organized like you were.

I ask guests to take out their trash before they leave, and run the dishwasher, so there are no dirty dishes, food or garbage left out.

About 8 satellite dishes hung off the outside all over the place, and many tenants each paid for their own cable internet/TV account.

Google maps satellite View showing only 1 of 3 buildings is up.

If you are always dishing out assistance, people will return the favor down the line.

I lived in Superior for a while and commuted downtown every day (get satellite radio ha).I'm a realtor, so fortunately I have instant access to what is hitting the market and it's still very hard to find something before 50 other people have found it as soon as it hits the MLS.

IN the NW we have a very large Eastern Europe population Russian and all the satellite states those guys are famous for the retrade day of closing or day before.. they do it mainly to owner occ's who have bought something else packed up their home etc etc.. 

My guess is the dishwasher could be another plumbing issue where they don't scrap dishes and the filter or inlet is clogged. 

Finally a LTR furnished is often furniture only, no furnishings, no dishes, no linens or towels, while a MTR would most often include the same furnishing as a STR.
