If you find a problem, deal with it immediately by making the tenant correct it within X days (and verify with another inspection) or remove them from the property.Most DIY landlords lose more money to simple mistakes than it would cost them to hire a professional property manager.

@Cameron Porter helpful tip - this post will get removed by a Moderator as ads are supposed to be under the Classifieds forum:)

Removing non-load-bearing walls to create a more open and spacious floor plan can significantly enhance the appeal of a property.

Now, take this with a grain of salt because I consider net-0 to be "meahh" and if the value an agent brings covers there entire fee's, well there is value in fact they did everything, you saved your time, that's valuable, and you completely removed risk as they ate that.

Try to take a long-term view—it usually helps remove the emotional weight and allows you to think more clearly about the problem.

I'm actually going to post a similar question about stain removal & replacement :-).Anyway, my cleaners do run a load of laundry during the turnover cleaning. 

Sure enough had to spend a ton of money on a drain, pump, and mold removal.

Joints can loosen over time and create an arcing problem.Running wire isn't all that difficult if 1. you have an open attic that the wire runs through or 2. you plan on removing lath and plaster anyway to go with sheet rock.

I would have assumed we would start the eviction process on the 5th after they missed rent for a second month, so we have the option to remove them as fast as possible if they continue to not pay.  

On my old website I used to remove the number part of the property address and leave it up there as "sold" so at least there was something on the website to show.
