I’m guessing he found another spot.Some days landlording makes me question humanity - people don’t seem to honor their word anymore.

This seems absurd given there is already a supply in the area.Anyone with experience that can guide on a normal price range?

The 10 year contract deal is almost absurd in my opinion. 

I think we're going to shop at habitat for humanity for replacement doors and go with 6-panel throughout the place.

There are many factors to consider when transitioning from "smoking allowed" to "smoking prohibited", the biggest one being the human element. 

It is difficult to be a successful landlord if you can't read people, because credit reports and income verification doesn't tell you anything about how much of a PITA the tenant is going to be or how reasonable they will behave as a human being.

Residential leases usually have an implied warranty of habitability, which basically means the premises must be suitable for human habitation. 

Perspective is the key in our business.Everything I have learned about about sales is that humans make decisions based on emotion not reason. 

I regularly volunteer for Denver Metro's Habitat for Humanity to gain some exposure with various home project experiences (drywall, flooring, painting, exterior work).

There are so many moving parts and every deal is so different that if you’re not constantly learning, being open to creating meaningful human connections, and willing to persevere through a lot of rejection and challenges, then it is very hard to succeed in this business.
