You have every incentive to portray the property through rose-tinted glasses.Based on my own personal experience, in a solid year I see expenses around 30%.

The tide rose all boats but their's were positioned so far ahead of everyone else's that they grew exponentially as times got better.

This is what is on page 1 of the application:Our Criteria:We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.We do deny housing to individuals: when the application is not complete or accurate where there is not sufficient income/resources to pay rent and livewhere there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.Criminal activity is at our discretion depending on severity, number of convictions, and how long ago.In your specific case I would deny them for having a prior eviction, unless I could reach the landlord and determine that they complied and have paid amounts owing.

You get to choose the color you want and staining wood is not a difficult DIY project.

Because so many people had access to credit (the demand was very high compared to a normal supply of houses), values rose to artificially high levels.

Maintaining it is fairly simple also, after each tenant moves out scrape the caulk from around where the tub and tile meets and the corners and re caulk, make sure the caulk matches the color of the tile to blend. replace the caulking every turn to make help prevent the caulk from failing and letting moisture into the wall behind it, if it molds then eventually your tiles will start popping and you will have to tear it all out and replace wall and tiles again. if the tub gets worn down or even as i have saw in the past extremely dirty when no matter how much cleaning you do the grime wont come off just sand it with a fine grit paper and home depot sells a resurfacing spray kit for around 60$ and if you take your time will take about 1-2 hrs then 24 hrs to dry and will look like a brand new tub.
