Then you're stuck with pets that damage because someone is stressed.

Also even if they have extra sheets laying around and you need to replace damage the color will not match perfectly.

Stairways being a major focal element in many a home, the hacks dont last long.

Well the former landlord has been keeping the eye on the property too as he is retired and he said everything is "cleaned out and looks the unit seems to have no damage beyond normal wear and tear".

Before they returned the floors were severely damaged.

Some other less obvious suggestions I have:- Install high velocity toilets when buying a property, a backed up sewer line can cause a lot of damage- Do not have garbage disposals.

The potential for a lengthy eviction or serious tenant damage.

While my deal was involved and I did have some basic surveying knowledge anyone with a basic knowledge of describing lots could have had a surveyor do much of the brain damage for them.From the deal, I netted out an over 2,000+ sq ft "A" frame on a small local river that included a large barn, a few acres, pond, coral area and a regulation tennis court with 8' chain link enclosure, FREE to me when it was all said and done.

Another way, anywhere, is to use a standard purchase agreement and remove the events of default and penalties for the buyer by an addendum, damages could be ten bucks, lol, not to get that confused with consideration again.

I also will do a mold and termite inspection if any damage from either is found during the inspection.
