I read later that they can survive in the carpet or walls for up to 3,4 months without feeding.

selling 3 rooms of carpets/ flooring for the price of 1.... anyone have experience with them?

Some related facts:She had been paying 600 for the last 7 years and last year (I assume because they wanted to sell the place) and the rent was just increased to $625.The apartment is in good shape but may need new carpet or floor.We will make three thousand after the mortgage payments without increasing the rent.Thanks for you opinion!

She just completed a new roof, carpet, stucco, paint, floors and kitchens in the two I may buy from her.

Especially if their owners are irresponsible.Just wait until you have a carpeted house trashed by pet pee everywhere.

Is there a better toilet that can handle this mess? I

This means the roof, mechanicals, carpet, etc are going bad over time and you have to start saving for these on a monthly basis.Example: let's say your cost of roof: $10,000 Lifespan: 20 yearsReplacement reserve: $10K/20 years = $500/year or $42/monthYou can find out what your replacement reserves need to be by having an inspector give you the deferred maintenance items and estimate how much this will cost.Other than that, it seems like you have an awesome deal.

I went with carpet.

The current owner says the tenants don't want her to paint the walls or put down new carpet.)?

Now the place is totally spotless, painted inside and out, new carpet/refinished hardwood, new appliances, etc, etc. ready to sell!
