Landlord may not collect for carpet cleaning, general cleaning of the house and driveway/patio, or painting, as those expenses are in the nature of ordinary wear and tear which are the responsibility of the landlord.

@Engelo RumoraOi mate,You ready to rock the world with our anti-guru antics?

It could just be that im a selfish jerk, but it goes against human nature to help direct competition. 

The basement was partially finished and had sheet rock. 

These criteria due to my personal constraints on time (I have a demanding full time job as many of us do) and on connections/team/expertise(I'm not an expert at rehabs nor do I have a team for this yet).So given all of that I am researching on other clever ways of hacking the situation and conditions I'm in to still come out ahed so splitting houses I purchase up into multiple "doors" by renting by the room is a natural conclusion.

If you talk about it and are knowledgeable about it, you almost naturally attract other like-minded people.  

But if an agents time constraints force them to prioritize between clients then unfortunately the nature of the business is we have to go with the deals that will keep the lights on in our own homes.

I like how those cars looks /ferraris and lambos. but i would get a panic attack driving one thinking im going to get a rock chip and knock the value down 1k .  

I’d strip the paint from the doors to expose the Natural wood color (hopefully they are wood) and put up sturdy stainless steel apartment numbers.

If you're not familiar with the block by block nature of Philly neighborhoods and targeting a vacation rental market in G-Town, I'd say generally stay west of Germantown Avenue and north of Queen Lane.
