unless the prospective or current tenant presented with a medical qualification for a service/therapy type dog in a 4 or more unit building if i read correctly.would u allow dogs to ruin ur newly installed (but delicate) laminate floors?

Seems a little high but make sure u get 3 estimates.

wow, I think like u, but never had to explain to seller.I think its irrelevant. 

Hello,My name is Ben, I'm a U of Minnesota Alumni and am working full time as a project manager in the printing industry.

thanks again j scott. u rock!

cool i'm in a similar boat albeit here on the west coast. hopefully its not under ur own roof u come home to as thats when its at its worsts - 24/7 and obviously not worth it once they default AND/OR breach. tenants too often dont seem to realize not paying and/or not keeping any unlawful (ie, prohibited) activity at bay IS as serious as if the landlord were to suddenly, permanently shut off the water/electric/gas etc or lift the ceiling off their rental.

It's worse when u have tenants in the unit and are coordinating showings out of state.  

if u neglect just 1 lender, eventually you'll be forced to give something up.  

the rule of thumb is -  until u find one that fits your criteria. 

Time heals all wounds (and deals)
