Also had a newborn baby.

I'm not in Austin but in the baby brother market here in San Antonio.

When I was dating my wife, she'd go back to her place & her clothes would smell of it.

Even if they do smoke outside, the smell often follows them inside on their clothes or just by way of the window or door being open.I've heard the ozone machines can work wonders.

Sometimes you need somebody that isn't afraid to call your baby ugly, and that is what your HM lender is there for - they are putting their money into your deal, so they will be tactful but they will be straightforward if they think your ARV or renovation numbers are a little off.  

Check local laws-I’m my state in Australia the landlord must provide facilities to dry clothing be that a cloths line or a dryer but they don’t need to provide a washing machine, seems weird but there it is.The catch 22 is that if you as the land lord provide it then you must maintain it- no good deed goes in punished after all.That said, you  can put terms in the lease that IF and additional appliance breaks you won’t replace it, as long as there is mutual agreement in the agreement at the onset. 

Once in a while luck will be with us, and the trespasser will have obvious illegal items or is not adequately clothed, or just barking at the moon, and on those occasions there is a good chance they will be taken away in addition to receiving the warning.

Wipe everything down with damp cloth.

I would rather keep the family comfortable while we have one finish high school, one finish middle, and the baby (11 months ) have a stable place to call home.
