Typically  issues are raised when the exterior is not kept up with / parking on grass / garbage in neighborhoods where everyone takes pretty good care of their homes.If you keep it clean and run a tight ship, you should be okay most of the time.

Using David Green’s Core 4 strategy (realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender) makes me confident to invest anywhere.

I paid cash-for-keys to get her out; she was supposed to leave the property in "broom clean" condition at the walk-through.

I manage the property myself and I have a person that comes in to clean the property after each tenant.

My four adult children are out of the house; so, below are goals for our 11 year old and me.Read 15 minutes per day and log it.Set limit on daily electronic use.Clean up after himself (toys, push chair in, dishes, clean bedroom, clean car).He plays sports and has a few tough baseball goals that he works with me on (inside/out swing, pitching mechanics, 3B fielding).

It took about 15k to clean, paint and band-aid the property to the point where we could fire sale it.

This will just turn into a ventfest with everyone complaining about how they can’t find good cleaners, Handymen, Plumbers, roofers, lawncare, snow plow, electricians, etc etc etc.And everyone complaining how they had to fire their last cleaners because cleaning crew members got in a huge fight in the front yard and started throwing things at each other…And how they had to fire the cleaners before that because they showed up drunk…And how they had to fire the cleaners before that because they never even showed up…
