No, never had that, I did have a trained german shepard that was house broken, left with a pee pad, toy, plenty of food and water to get through the night, never had a problem!

My experience is that once those things soak into the pad, you have to replace the carpet.

The stink had penetrated thorough the hardwood floors, through the laminate and padding right into the subfloor. 

Also if you allow pets it's a no brainer to get rid of the carpet since the urine smell never goes away when it gets down into the padding, but with vinyl that's easy cleanup. 

Suggestions: remove carpet, including pad.

I aim for a 40%+ cash on cash but I still think you're numbers are a little padding with costs. 

I have stuck with the electronic key pads for now and I change the batteries at least once a year.

My grandmother, who was the owner, tells me that there used to be many problems however i have not come across any...yet. 1st floor- pays every 1st of the month and never has complaints2nd floor- is my only Section 8 unit and i get rent on time3rd floor- slower payer but not badBuilding "S",Store front-this used to be my father package store 20+ years ago but has been empty since the early 90's. i would love to fix it up and get it rented but have NO clue where to begin.2nd Floor- Empty for about a year now, I've done a lot of work to clean and try and get ahead of any problems that may come up when its occupied. i have recently finished all the work and im working on getting it rented for section 83rd floor- i have had many problems here, ive already sent a marshal with an eviction notice for late payment and then they paid and ive had many chances to evict them. the scary thing is that if they are not there the whole building would be empty and that scares me more.Building "R"My biggest problem here is that it is very dirty, we had a REALLY bad mouse problem that has gotten significantly better in the last 2 months. 1st Floor- there are about 5-6 kids that live here between 2-18 y/o and its pretty upsetting seeing this place. they are typically good on the rent but they have about 7 motorcycles in the driveway, toys and just garbage.2nd Floor- nothing3rd Floor- decent people how ever currently they are about 2-1/2 months behind on rent... and they just had a baby. i may be a sucker but how do you evict a family with a new born......I guess im looking for any suggestions on what i could be doing to make more income, reduce head aches, anything really!

What if I told you that you could own the pad you're renting for two years worth of rent?
