Two of my other tenants have cats and I'm not overly worried about them because they're clean and tidy, their floors aren't new and the woodwork is painted.

They trashed it on the way out - literally throwing garbage all over the outdoor area and I received a violation from the city and had to spend about $1K to get it cleaned up.I eventually sold the property at a loss about 5-6 months after purchasing it - around mid 2018. 

I also listen to the BP podcast for several hours a day while I clean and maintain the gym and bathrooms. 

Other than that, the other most important piece is your cleaning crew.

Then it would be considered fraud.The only report I would need to pay for would be a back ground check to make sure there wasn't anything criminal in their history.Generally, I have found that if someone has a very high credit (720+ FICO), and in Brooklyn, NYC, you will certainly need high credit for any apt, you have a very clean background check.Given that and income has to be 4 times Annual Rent qualified from their Pay Stubs or W2 or both and verification from their employers, it's really difficult to get better quality of verification even from Companies that charge more than $20 for all of this information.Also, I don't blame Cuomo for these things.

I put our used winter boot plastic trays under the cabinets & that also catches all the other spillages they have with their cleaning supplies. 

It is a 14x66 - 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a 12x18 3 season porch.This home is extremely clean.

If it has that slimy feel, notice her as an issue and either she cleans it and they stop vaping, or you have it cleaned and bill her and ban the guy.

Had to do some drywall work, replace a toilet because they broke the bowl, and pay for a 2 day deep clean because it was trashed.

With clean out (it was a hoarder house), carrying costs, and the high end kitchen cabinets and counters I bought for dirt cheap, I already have $46k in it.
