@Dawn Anastasi yes the couple provided their midwest landlord who I called and got a raving review but it's a private owner so who knows, in retrospect.And they indicated they were staying at Extended Stay America Pasadena since they flew into CA, which struck a chord with me as months ago when I relocated from NYC, I also stayed in Extended Stay America but the one right near Long Beach Airport, until I closed on this house. in retrospect, i realize when i advertised for a housemate on CList months ago, i had initially indicated i stayed at Extended Stay America and had just closed on my home and was looking for a housemate (and found a great one just weeks ago, who is also from NYC but now works for Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles Police Department thru a government contractor. would not put it past these characters to have actually stalked my CList posts and gathered info to use to sugar-coat their story. anyways i dont wanna get my housemate involved as he's new but at least he has connections as far as some of his clients, if it comes to that for whatever it might be worth if things escalate and/or become violent. i'm a very diplomatic person, not sure if that helps in this sutation though =/they offered to pay more rent ($300 more per month) and of course i said no, you need to work on finding a new place better and fast before time runs out for your situation. and in reply they (well the father, he does most the yapping) just asked me to install area rugs which they initially agreed to install in the first place even before 3 kids magically appeared in the picture and now are claiming the rugs will help deaden the sound but that I have to furnish them. guess there's suddenly a few screws coming lose as the act is finally falling to pieces. i mean who in their right mind is going to cater to their 'needs' after being lied to and my signature forged (God knows where else?!).

You won't likely convince him to change his character so you're better off cutting your losses.Like the old proverb says, "Chasing the snake that bit you drives the poison to your heart".

When working with investors, its less about getting an understanding of their individual tastes, rather looking at the properties needs and then choosing materials and finishes that lend themselves to the style and character of the home.

There were some imperfections in the floor we did, but we weren't bothered by them as it's not a high end unit and we consider them to add character. =) Menard's recently started carrying an industrial concrete sealer so we went with that.

Having pics on gives the site some character.

By being at the property a fair amount of time while doing the repairs and improvements, we were able to get a good handle on how the property worked and the character of our tenants.We didn't need to evict anyone, but one tenant (a female stripper with a pit bull) moved on her own.

IRS New Expense Regulation PolicyThe above link you posted seemed to have some extra characters - didn't work for me.

It really adds some character to the curb appeal.
