The more people or animals on them on a daily basis Th e quicker they wear, the more folks spilling on them the quicker they wear etc...thanks for the reply Originally posted by Account Closed:I'm sure you know you can't discriminate against them because of their size.  

@Javier D'Espaux Sheetrock on the walls and ceiling, framing, taping, bass board, floor sanding and coating, kitchen demo and sheetrock also, and paint everything.

Welcome to BiggerPockets @Muri Anim!

If she does, it will be happy days again.None of the clauses in our lease seem to matter to her: smoking, moving an extra person in, sneaking in an extra animal..etc.

I would check to see if they had a lease signed with the prior landlord, if they did, check the speculations..if it had a no animals clause, there you go..not familiar with MA laws, but in Ca you can give a 3 day notices to cure or quit..which states to get rid of the animals, or vacate the premises..which in short, is the beginning of an eviction..Some can get messy..read up on your local laws..

@Kenneth Sok - I really doubt that a fresh coat of paint is going to do a lot to increase the appraisal.

One of my tenants complained that wild animals (raccoons maybe) mess with his trash and that he tried everything and it didn't work.

So if you are outlaying cash, I would give pause because your CCR would be extremely low.If you are wanting to live in one, build equity, etc that is a completely different animal.

I prefer curtains over mini-blinds as the blinds always get destroyed.If a faucet works and isn't leaking, I don't just replace it.The best impact you see is with a fresh coat of paint and it's usually really cheap to do versus other upgrades.

SO primary residence is a far different animal than for an investment.
