The party issue or just noisy groups that annoy sensitive neighbors was a fairly routine problem with the medium and large house.I think it kind of comes down to operational style also.

The 24 inch units don't have great capacity and are best suited for a 1 bedroom unit.If you get washers/dryers that are too small, tenants will overload them routinely and shorten the life of the appliances.

Congrats, you will feel a lot better about yourself and your business once you whip them into shape.And next time you will jump on it immediately simply as a routine part of operating your business. 

I will definitely allow pets not for upgrades but to people who will be responsible for their animal and definitely for the disabled.

I, on the other hand, think direct mail is an awesome method of contacting leads.Since you are not having much luck with finding the phone numbers to the leads you have, sending something to them via snail mail will at least make the initial contact, then you can gather numbers as they call you and routinely make follow up calls.

If I become disabled and cannot work, and therefore cannot earn an IRA or 401K, who is gonna contribute to those funds?

Buy and hold something that you can rent long term to individuals with disabilities or companies that take care of individuals with special needs.

Don't spend all cashflow so you can have reserves ready to go when the water heater goes, the furnace, etc.Finally, putting of routine maintenance is a big no-no.

The goal of the Fair Housing Act is to ensure “no person shall be subjected to discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin in the sale, rental or advertising of dwellings, in the provision of brokerage services, or in the availability of residential real-estate related transactions.†With respect to people with disabilities, the Act serves to: * Give people with disabilities opportunities to choose where they want to live; * Assure that reasonable accommodations and reasonable modifications are made so that a person with a disability can secure and use housing as fully as a person without a disability

This sound crazy, I personally wouldn't use the animal hoarding as a part of my evidence unless it they are in default of your lease, because my understanding of hoarding is linked to a mental health issues which may be under the Fair Housing Act protected class regarding disabilities, I would probably just stick with the non payment of rent.
