Tell them they are more than welcome to put in new carpet , that way if their dogs stain it up , they wont be responsible to replace it . and they can pick any color they want .

Properties are too cheap, and you wont make back your money.....and if the properties are too expensive...they probably do not turn over at a high enough rate.

Hi @Wendy Lovejoy maybe you should try an pay them off to leave but make sure you get them in a cab an change the locks as soon as possible an maybe save yourself some headechs because the police wont be much help ive seen it happened here in Brooklyn.best of luck to you.

for 15k a door. .he was giddy of what a great deal he got... spent about 10k a door getting the units back to rent able condition putting in a new hoop and BBQ area.. well within first 30 days hoop is destroyed BBQ are stolen he had one murder and a bunch of other violent crime he thought we would sell at a 15 cap and make about 500k on the deal.. he ended up selling and losing 400k... all in 18 months place ended up boarded again.. these areas are only appropriate for those that FUlly understand the market the tenant and how to run these areas.. an investor buying a SFR if its in the wrong area will just throw their money away.. you need to buy quality.. if you do you can a good day.. although be aware values do not rise there. 

LIke right now.. have to wait a year.. after refi.. due on sale clause find dumb buyer that will pay 15k more than its worth put someone on title with poor credit may not pay you probably wont pay you.. leave you with a mess and a loan in your name.. these are just a few items

Good contractors wont install the cheap materials , then those cheap windows fail you will blame the contractor  even though its not their fault .  

The property wont' cash flow.Hope that helpsStephanie

But wife thinks it wont attract tenants much3. 

These are rough numbers, not exact.Buy at an ~8% cap rate, but two tenants disappear after destroying their units.

AirDNA also includes cleaning fees in their estimates, but thats something you wont profit from. just keep in mind
