Clean the surface by powerwashing.

I think if I buy the 1st property I'd be ok on the maintainance and finding tenants.My biggest fear is the quality of tenants I would find in that area and the eviction.

well... you would think that would be the case... but...this property is in a city that has no zoning, no formal way of evaluating a property and has no history of inspecting a property.home sits on 8 different lotsfurther, this isnt a rehab. the corporation who bought the home upgraded beyond belief. beautiful trim, accents, original antique knobs, new cabinets in kitchen, new appliances, new texture on walls, tasteful paint in all rooms, fans in each room, 2 big *** HVAC units, foundation repaired, new roof (although an E1 tornado touched down 1/10th of a mile from the home yesterday), new windows, gorgeous flooring is original and was refinished 2 years ago - clean, clean, clean and even cleaner!

Through the years he learned to sweep in and out of it to keep it clean, make basic repairs and eventually manage the property.

They are not causing extreme damage, but more wear than I would expect for a typical family.Can I charge them for repainting the walls on moveout, professional carpet cleaning, tile grout stains from not cleaning after spills, etc, or would this be considered normal wear?

If they focus on making quality material and present well people will naturally come up to them at the end of the presentation.No hard selling needed or wanted.I attended a Jeffrey Gitomer seminar a long time ago before he was big.It was at the wold pizza expo in Las Vegas when I used to own a restaurant.

My question is, do you fill in the nail holes, chips, cracks, and then paint, or do you just give the garage a good cleaning?

Re-posted correctly & working on getting it rented.In the mean time I'm cleaning & getting it rent ready.Worked on building a real business & developing local RE relationships

However, you need to pay the lot rent for the months the home is in the park, in your possession, and you need to clean up the lot after the home is pulled out.

Pictures with a date and time stamp should be fine.Check the cupboards and fridge to see if cleaned out or not.In Georgia if there is 500 of personal property or less you do not have to go through eviction.If it appears more than that you usually wait for the Marshall and out the stuff where they want it.If you are in Fulton county do not waste the Marshalls time with an empty unit.They have sometimes 900 writs to serve in a month.Simply re-key all exterior locks and not just the front.You don't know who they gave a copy to.
