Cats are generally much cleaner compared dogs; which (dogs) commonly cause noise complaints, often ruin doors and carpets, and frankly, they don't bury their own sh#t :D   

If you get a few bad apples, they can ruin it for everyone, and the construction type is not very soundproof so tenants can become discouraged and leave, leaving you in a position where you are forced to accept less desirable tenants.What is the best way to prevent this from happening? 

A few inches of ruined carpet at the doorway and the entire room of carpet must be replaced.There is no way to get rid of the smell of cat urine.

Urine can ruin them!

Don't waste your time OR an agent's time.The rough formula for the offer is:((ARV x 70%) - Repairs) = Offer (for rehab)If there are no repairs, NO ONE is going to sell you a perfectly good house at 70% of it's actual, current value.The formula for a WHOLESALER needs to be:(((ARV x 70%) - Repairs) x 90%) = Wholesale OfferIn other words, you need to get an EVEN BETTER DEAL than a rehabber if you hope to get paid for finding the deal without ruining the deal for the rehabber.

Having the tenant that has truly had a bad break, cancer, or blew out the knee, and knowing you will eventually have to boot them because they have not been able to pay rent for the last 2 months (.

I have found that such a strategy is not a good one as evidenced by the fact that most who did this are no longer doing it or out of the biz completely after ruining their reputations with brokers and sellers.In this business, your reputation is just as important as your education in the field.

In 2013 I lost my step mother(mom) to cancer she left behind many assets and a bit of money for my family and I.

Imagine if you had to tell your spouse that your idea was presented to the pros and every one of them thought the plan would lead to ruin.

Even a foundation dedicated to finding a cure for cancer.
