I've fixed pretty much everything unless it was over my skill set (replacing capacitor on A/C system, for instance; landlord told me when I moved in it was okay to repaint or whatever as long as it improved the house), my neighbors love me - they've told him so; I've resodded the yard twice (FL grass sucks with a dog), had the landscape crew redo the trees in front so they look good, replanted flower beds (perennials), power washed the house every year after wet season ended, ensured the pest control worked...The BUT part ...As a sole practioning consultant (pre-IPO weakness remediation, large financial systems implementations, global audit recommendations for SEC registrants, etc.) at times during the last 3 years things have been sink or sink lower credit wise and the ID theft didn't help (apparently, I bought a car in GA and own some property in TX).

For example University City could be a great opportunity to AirBnB with all of the attractions and Wash U nearby but they only allow it if it’s your primary residence.

If you are offering vacation rentals, all the linens need washed after stays, cleaning needs done, trash needs taken out, etc.    

Wash the walls with TSP.

After closing costs and the downpayment, it's pretty much a wash.

If the first condo was purchased this year you should be able to use a lease to wash that payment and the appraiser will give you market rent for the new condo

(I felt really bad for him, and am not at all on board with shaming your kid like that, so I was matter-of-fact "Okay, no problem" and gave them new sheets/took the old ones and washed them; the end)

I’ve been told by a tenant that everyone uses the water hose to fill up portable pools,wash their vehicles,spray the sidewalk and driveway.When my lease clearly states NO CAR WASHING on property.

For instance, I never expected my basement to be cleaned of cobwebs or dirt on the floor, but City Waterproofing power washed my basement for me.

Wash, rinse, repeat every 3-5 years.Personally, I think the best thing you can do is to be open minded and ensure that you have options.
