The main goal me and my wife have is to make money.

.@ Rob K Good advice The funny thing is that After using the coffee, I was able to zero in on the odor and its main location.The coffee absorbed enough of the odor so it was no longer everywhere at once.

Yeah, no fun.My main area of investing in is Subject To and Owner Financing transactions.

My main cash buyer is a construction worker and all I do is show her the property and she takes over from there.

You hooked into the main line here.

Second my main focus is triple net leasing and apartment buildings.

No ductwork, or plumbing yet exists. the electrical box is in and the main outlets are in place, fixture and additional outlets still need to be installed.

As the guys were digging up the foundation for the French drain they accidentally struck and damaged the main sewer drain.

This makes me very grateful that I live in TX.My main question is that other than screening for past violations, how does a landlord actually go about making sure that tenants don't do any of those things?

Stop looking for hurdles and barriers.
