  $200/mo is not worth a landlord leash.  

Hi Joe,Maybe "Let the dog leash out slowly"For instance, ask for his help on some particular aspect of what you want him to lean and let him solo with it until he masters that part.Once he masters it, he can keep doing it for YOU, than add another something for him to Solo at until he masters it. 

Dexter was extremely sociable, so well trained I could walk him off leash, and you could leave him sitting in the truck with a grocery bag full of steak for half an hour, and come back and nothing would be touched.

Like you said, I don't know that tenants would ultimately pay any more for a brick apartment than another type but I liked the fact that it seems to be a very sturdy building material.

Talk to people on BP that have hands-on remodeling experience, talk to guys in Lowe's and Home Depot that know how to do plumbing and tile work, and talk to anyone else you know locally that could give you some pointers.As an example, most professional tile guys don't like putting tile down directly over wood subfloors (unless they are really, really sturdy; no flex). 

I let new tenants know right off the bat what the town’s leash laws are, and if I see any violations I won’t treat them any differently than anyone else.

Beds must be sturdy and comfortable.

did you get it brand new and were the building materials sturdy?
