Hello Mike,A cracked granite countertop is definitely not normal wear and tear.This can be caused by placing a very hot pot on the granite countertop.

For instance let's say you deny someone because you believe them to be a messy person or because they smoke pot.  

That may be what gives you the pot of gold you are after.

I rather not so I don't rock the boat with themThere are 4 people on the lease (including baby) and one of them is having loud parties and smoking pot.

Or paint a wall, begin hording, add a electric space heater or start growing pot...not long.I tell my tenants it is for their benefit and safety for me to inspect furnace filters, smoke alarms, CO2 alarms etc.I personal am more concerned about my property investment than the minor feelings of tenants.

I require 3 times rent income (gross, not net). Is

That was a year ago.After a couple months, one of her sons, and 5 of his pot smoking buddies are caught, having broken into my vacant house next door, getting high.

Your comment of those that continue to do it have switched philosophies is simply not accurate as you can not possibly know what each of us are thinking, doing, and changing (us being rehab flippers).n I have not switched to major tear downs, I have yet to add any square feet to any property in the last two years, and my niche of luxury market homes did partially come from new market conditions, but it also came as a natural progression of my abilities. i would not place all of us (us being rehabbers) into your one pot, it is simply not accurate.No one seems to be "wondering"why I am pushing spec building except you.

Unless you want to have a place that's hard to rent you should have a no smoking policy, pot or cigarettes or pipes or cigars or anything else.

I will add a small palm tree which I have been growing in a pot for a couple of years and some blue agave that I have been wanting to move.
