@Monica Evans I am not opposed to dogs in my rentals. 

We bought it at auction, and it has enough wrong with it to scare most bidders away, but most of it is cosmetic.It needs all new flooring and paint, and new doors (interior as well as exterior).

Paint exterior, renovate the upstairs, drywall the retail space, tile and paint the interior Lessons learned?

Possibly a little foundation work (it’s on blocks)new water heaterneeds central ac/heat installednew roof (fascia and all components included) new flooring possibly some subfloor replacement exterior siding work(paint some, replace some)some drywall work where there are some small and large holes in the ceiling and walls in a couple of spots. couple windows replaced because of broken glassall new doors (2 exterior 3 interior) new cabinets and counters in kitchennew bathroom sink+vanityThis is in South Mississippi and would be using cheaper materials because it’s in a lower class neighborhood. 

Much better to have a list of some smaller things like putting in some new drywall or a tub as opposed to an overhaul of major expenses that will cost you way more. 

The Assembly Judiciary Committee needs to know you are opposed to AB 1731!

With the average rent being listed as $888 for the city of Lubbock, that leads me to believe that the "decrease" on paper is due to the large influx of student properties having rent listed by the bed as opposed to by the unit which is very common with the large resort-style properties. 

I will be doing repairs required by insurance next week - cleaning the massive amounts of exterior trash, weeds & debris, fixing a window, painting the fascia.

Does the same apply if that same subcontractor has their own business or DBA ( as opposed to just being John Doe, handyman) yet still does not have a worker's comp policy?

How to measure the pro/con of a guaranteed annual return of 4.25% (because interest is not deductible more like 4.25/(1-.33) = 6.34% return, as well as having  $2100 to invest -as opposed to having $6660 per year to either invest -or to pay off the 30yr ( 18yr pay off at $555 additional).
