Replacing the newer light fixtures and window blinds. 5.

YES, I'm pretty comfortable saying that as long as you don't blindly invest in a terrible property you can beat $600 cashflow any day. 

Assistance animals perform many disability-related functions, including but not limited to, guiding individuals who are blind or have low vision, alerting individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to sounds, providing protection or rescue assistance, pulling a wheelchair, fetching items, alerting persons to impending seizures, or providing emotional support to persons with disabilities who have a disability-related need for such support.

I am not recommending you make decisions blindly, or purchase a property without proper due diligence, but make smart investments with your time first, the rest should come naturally by being decisive and intentional.

Personally I do not like the practice and believe it is still bad for the public because it is a blind transaction.

Make sure you get referrals to them from other investors so that you don't get robbed blind.

I had turned a blind-eye to the bf living there (I know -- hand slap) until a minor flare up happened. 

Most agents will just send everything blindly without first making sure they are a good deal.

I always tear out carpets and old blinds, as they hold quite a bit of odor.  

Makes you think some investors just bid blindly without any due diligence Definitely lots of foreign money in this area buying up whatever inventory what they can get their hands on.
