The carpet that needs to be replaced is $1084, and the electric bill is $200.Should I eat the extra costs and let it go, being thankful she moved out? 

The interest payments now, are eating me out - which I would like to reduce, since I know the total length of the loan is significantly smaller than intended 30 yrs. 

This could eat cash flow in the summer if tenants don't cover it.

They are large enough to eat the cost to add a benefit for their customers3.

Pigs get fat. 

I know investors are eating off these fees just as Realtors do off commissions, there is no such thing as non-refundable until the judge says it is.

Remember if it's a large title with volume they might be fat cats.

First having several LLCs or companies eats into your profits. 

I still eat ramen noodles for lunch often to remind me of those wonderful times as a beginning investor. 

Need to consider basic wear and tear thinking here, normal or expected living styles, if a kid hides a sandwich so they have to eat it, that's normal, if a tenant allows pet waste to pile up, leave food out on a counter, the floor hasn't been swept in a month, that's different, that is poor housekeeping.I'd never allow a tenant to do any trimming of trees, shrubs....maybe, depends on who they are, a 50 year old lady who gardens....yes, a college kid.....no.Along these lines, a reminder, tenants may not be required to do maintenance or repairs on any residential property, commercial they may.
