Then they periodically (perhaps weekly or bi-weekly) walk around the yard to clean up the poop.

However, I have almost no trade skill knowledge so I'm looking at demo, cleanup, yard work, etc. type of jobs.

And if possible, they can even hire someone to clean up the property and then pass the bill on to the tenant.

I think you're gonna see a lot of deals underwater trading before year end, with banks trying to clean up their balance sheets.5.5% with 25% down is a very competitive rate.

Next was doing laundry late at night and then came the nit picking.I spoke with both tenants, the dog issue is pretty cut and dry, clean up after your pet.

Squeaky wheel get the oil, get on the city council agenda for that month and tell them you are trying to clean up and bring in more houses and increase the city tax base plus those new houses will add to the water and sewer and trash base.

Once the existing tenants move out you will have to do some repairs, cleanup and painting anyways due to the pets. ( or get lowballed on an as is price from guys like me) Your best bet is to wait until lease expires then fix it up and sell or do like a lease option or something.

Had it leased before I finished the cleanup.
