The tile is in good shape with very little wear and no cracking. 

If it was in ok shape I'd tell him he would be paying month to month and I would allow him enough time to relocate.

I’m fairly new here, but I’ve had a rental for a couple years that is in great shape and newer. (2003 build).

$PSF, time on market ( for both sales and rentals for various property types) trends, crime trends, etc..   

We usually like to show the unit when in good shape, such at this one, to a few of the applicants that go through the hurdles necessary. 

What is the trend in the market now? 

It incentivizes landlords to buy properties in C location and keep the properties in good shape and in return they will get good rents from CMHA with long-term tenants if done correctly. 

Most of the trim (baseboards, window boxes, door casings) had been scratched and chewed by the dogs and was ruined.Being long-term tenants (~9yrs) the finish flooring would need to be replaced anyway, but the amount of damage to the subfloor - particularly on the ground level necessitated removal of the entire subfloor.The bathroom vanity was in rough shape and there was a mysteriously missing square of drywall from behind the toilet (earlier pictures from when we purchased the property showed no hole behind the toilet).The carpet on the stairs and in the closet under the stairs was originally a light green in colour (with traces of red).  

Real Estate comes in all shapes and sizes.

Now I need to shape my daily habits into those of a wealthy person.We've just moved to a new place (Durango CO), so will be seeking to connect with like-minded people here and that will help with accountability (as will posting here on BP).Isaac and Rob, thanks for sharing your personal experiences - I like the idea of setting huge goals (that is my style anyhow) but need to incorporate the small changes that will make that a success, and I definitely need to step up on failing "in a good way", by trying new things, not just sitting around wishing.
