The primary advantage for most is the psychological security that comes with believing it will better protect your assets.

I had a applicant like that who started demanding repainting the kitchen because they didn’t like the color, demanded I lower my security deposit as they felt it was unnecessarily high and wanted a bit lower rent because it was off season. 

Plus, stuff happens...move, marriage, divorce, kids, can't management, don't want to manage...and you want the property to support your life decisions.We psychologically inflate the value of things that we already own over items we don't own...it's called the endowment effect. 

Psychologically they will likely not want to sign it unless they REALLY want to keep staying. 

Maybe true, maybe not.I took it 100% online and as far as I know passed with flying colors.

All you want is to repair any sections you need to (you'll probably find some after you sand), sand it down just enough to remove obvious signs of wear, putty up and color the gaps, and seal in place with a thinned sealer coat of oil-based polyurethane and three more coats.

When I looked at it a few things jumped out at me; it looked like a manufactured home but it was stick built, adding to the look was a 1 X 6" molding between the "skirting" and the house proper, that was painted a clashing color, it was a 2/1 but there was an 8' X 14' laundry room that was crying out to be a 1/2 bath. 

So your income is really 30kAnother applicant started to make demands like wanting the kitchen repainted because they didn’t like the color.

If not, you can search on google to find prices, colors, styles, and sizes.

For instance, there is 1980s terrible green-colored carpet in the living room - does it make sense to replace that?
