Quote from @Jaron Walling: @Kane Spangler There's a since of pressure to build or buy RE in your post.

Sometimes I'll tell them not to fix it (a punch hole in the wall) and I'm charging them for it.

It all started with removing some interior walls and changing the floor plan, removing a chimney, adding a bedroom and bathroom, installing patio door to the backyard, and completely renovating every other interior element What was the outcome?

They have cost my business tens of thousands of dollars and countless wasted hours of follow ups and missed opportunities.

It has been frustrating but it also is a positive as I now can quickly know what deals to not even waste time on analyzing. 

"there are plenty of reasons why a landlord should care who is looking at their property, theft and their own personal safety being the first 2 that spring to mind, followed closely by not wanting to waste their time" These are valid reasons but depend greatly on your market and who is showing the property. 

FHA does not allow you to do things outside of the home like adding a fence, hard scaping, retaining walls...   

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Dont try this yourself you'll waste time and screw it up..

I'm still figuring out how this site works, but I'll be in touch if I hit a wall!
