It’s just a standard in real estate that simply requires the seller to remove all personal belongings, nothing more.

My current goal is to do fix-and-flips with a good design aesthetic.

Or at the point in which your "passive" income (nothing in RE is truly passive) is well beyond what you want/need to be comfortable, give to charity, leave to your kids, travel the world, etc, then you can simply start consolidating, trading growth for debt reduction. 

I know from years of working with contractors that some of the challenges with remodels is simply making sure contractors show up and do what they are supposed to do. 

Simply pay them their fee and they will tell you how… Of course that would be money out of your pocket.

But since the leases expire at the end of October, I can simply have them on a month to month.    

What this actually means is a lot more than just simply "guaranteed rent" for the landlord, as some might think. 

We had a specific aesthetic we were looking for and a lot of the big-box furniture stores were out of stock of almost everything due to the supply chain interruptions from COVID.

I'd understand them, but NOT share them with your resident because, for the smart ones, it provides a nice map on how to cheat the system. https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfil...When we have a resident provide us evidence for an emotional support animal that does not meet the HUD guidelines, we simply provide them a letter that the information they provided does not meet those guidelines and encourage them to talk to their healthcare professional for more information. 

cost to build went up significantly because of supply chain. so builders need to pass on the price changes or simply not sell you the property..
