If you're worried about the cost of interest over time, well, you have the option of making additional payments towards the principal, but it's nice to have a low minimum payment when you don't have much cash, or you have a vacancy.Sorry if I haven't answered all your questions, but I'm sure there are other members with better ideas than mine.
Mike Mazzucco Emotional Support Pets After Move-In

Unfortunately one cannot charge for emotional support dogs but I like @ Kim Meredith Hampton’s suggestion of requesting, that “thingy” to verify that it is legitimate.I thank you for this post, because, as a result, I am going to modify the #2 section of my lease which is the “RELIANCE ON RENTAL INFORMATION”, details of which are presented below.I love Bigger Pockets for the great information and ideas that come up even when one is not looking.Feel free to adapt and modify the reliance on rental information provided below.Now whether it will hold up in court, that is for an attorney to decide but at the very least it initiates that agreement between me (Agent) and tenants.Cheers!

Wow this question is so vague I have no idea how to give specifics...On a 10' x 10' room (similar to your standard bedroom) I can remove everything down to the studs in one day.1/2- 3/4 day to rewire (simple cosmetic such as changing the number or location of outlets if you're actually changing the wires itself up to higher codes it can be 3+ days depending on how the house is wired and accessibility)1/2-1 day to insulate1/4 day for any windows or doors that would need replacing for the 1 room2 days for drywall (so long as the studs are straight and level)25 hours of taping (+/- 5 hours depending on the number of corners/edges) spread over 7 days usually front loaded 3-4 hours the first 2 days, then 2-3 hours for the remaining 5 days.2 days painting; 2-3 coatsflooring will depend on the product you're using but unless it's hardwood or laminate you can usually get it done 1 day.1 day trim and molding1 day clean and finishing touches.One thing that shouldn't be overlooked is the time it takes to purchase the materials and get them to the job site.Another is where you can actually do the work.
