The meter for one property in particular is in the basement in open sight.

@Jean JosephGetting out of state tenants who don’t do much research about neighborhoods and make decisions sight unseen can become trouble like the one you have.

They kept telling me that the wood chips destroyed their landscaping, that the wood chips were causing allergies to their children and burning their lungs, etc.

@Michael Otoole I bought all of my properties there sight unseen.  

Maybe send them a letter after talking to them summarizing your conversation so there is a paper trail just in case.I have apartments with wood floors and renters with dogs and don't have any problems.

I have Mount Lebanon in my sight but want to also focus on some up and coming area as well.

I am in Boulder Colorado and looking to have some flooring replaced with engineered wood (about 1250 sqft plus some stairs) and also need some “stone” work done around a fireplace to replace surrounding tile with cultured stone. 

I would like to be added to that sight on BP.  

I like the wood floors!

So far, knock on wood, it has been a breeze.
