Can I put a cap on that in the lease?  

It’s inevitable depending on the breed and now trimmed their nails are.

I decided to do some research on neighborhoods which brought me back to forum posts on Bigger Pockets.I learned that the letter grades vary by area, can sometimes be more of an art than a science, and are easier to nail down for multifamilies.But here’s some characteristics:“A” Class properties are in newer growth areas, are in nice neighborhoods, are newer properties built within the last 15 years with the most amenities.

Walls had extensive nail damage/patching, walls were in bad need of painting despite providing paint to tenant multiple times during tenancy.

Depends on studs, if there are nail pops, how many patches, etc.

Its more renter proof and any nails holes you can easily plug with a dark sparkle. 

The ability to nail your expenses and timeline down is a fine art.

Hi @Ben Capone, there are a few options here.1.

I never buy any of them because the minute the neighborhood realized you had the house empty anything not nailed down would be gone, the copper wire would be gone, and the copper pipe would be stripped.

Dave, I think you hit the nail on the head.
