Arthur, good tips, but you can get a Google number for free rather than messing with a pre-paid phone.

the tenants at one house moved out a few weeks ago. they were there just one year and moved in after the house was freshly painted and re-carpeted.anyway. there were fingerprints and smudges on the walls all over the house and even areas that you'd have to try to leave a fingerprint. nothing that a new coat of paint can't cover, but the whole house needed to be re-painted.regarding the carpet, there are dog pee stains and large furniture impressions. they tried to steam all stains out and even used spray chemicals to remove them. it does not smell, but the stains are there.would you charge them or keep a portion of the s. deposit for something like this?

Here are 3 tips for avoiding popular lending scams:1.Run away from fee collectors: A lending scam is usually present if high, upfront fees are paid directly to the lender.2.Obtain references from the lender: Although real references are hard to verify, always ask for references from the lender’s clients.

-economic vacancy rates (real vacancy + non-collectable rent and related income) -turnover costs between tenants (normal ware and tear costs painting, carpet cleaning etc.)I would also echo time tends to be under estimated and very costly.This post is only my personal opinion.

For example, replacing the roof and HVAC every 20 years, replacing the hot water heater every 8-10 years, etc.Also, you're ignoring the turnover costs you'll face when tenants leave (painting, replacing worn flooring, etc).

Our first and only flip: we bought a foreclosure, closed on a Tuesday, on Friday a lady knocked on the door while we were painting (we put a FSBO sign in the yard day of closing), said her moving van is on the way from out of state, her house purchase fell through, she'll pay all cash and could we have it finished and closed by the next Friday?

If they still make them work (i.e. paint,clean, ect.) and pay and affordable mortgage, then I take back my negative comments.

The house overall is in very nice shape and you can tell the previous owner did some updating (ie; new carpet throughout, painted walls, etc.,).

And they're somewhat state specific because of certain statutes, such as CO detector requirements, lead paint disclosures, maximum time security deposit can be held, etc.

Typically for something like what you have explained, I would rip the carpet out and put a fresh coat of paint in the.
