Unfortunately they left a mess (which was forgivable) but they deliberately destroyed our pots and pans by using a screw to scratch the bottoms of the pots.  

No work needed except paint, and new carpets(fingers crossed) Rent is 750-785.This way i dont have to sweat the small stuff-if it needs new kitchen floor or toilet i can afford it.Count me in !

That when you'll need to think about replacing fencing, hot water heaters, toilets, fixtures, appliances etc.

Presumably an appraiser is going to be that unbiased opinion, but that didn't exactly pan out pre-2008 so I take those numbers as an estimate at best. 

In a flat to declining market, you might as well invest in notes and make better than 8% without the tenant and toilet headache.

After a long day of work: to unplug another's toilet, to reset switches on the electrical panel, to call the roofer to inquire about checking leak - none of these are in any way relaxing.  

I had one pour concrete down the toilets because they were pissed at getting evicted.

Common moisture problems include pipe leaks, roof leaks, sewage back-ups, and over flowing toilets / sinks / bathtubs.

They can run generators and use portable toilets but that would cost you more in the long run.

A couple months ago I did a 4x8 bathroom in about 2 hours, that included pulling and resetting the toilet.
