You can get a head start by reviewing my book "Building Wealth with Inner City Rentals" or even better, getting the online course.My efforts have been so effective that Black Lives Matters has actually protested me for causing gentrification! 

We always try to buy with conservative numbers putting us in the black. 

Well, here it is in black and white, my mortgage company is letting me know I've skipped / saved 53 payments and $48,500.In this time, the interest portion of my payment went from around $950 to $850 (the $106 I referenced earlier) for an average of $900 over those hypothetical 53 payments. 53 x $900 = $47,700, which is basically the number they are giving me below (within a margin of error).

Unfortunately the black light is going to show 100’s of things including…Turmeric (a spice), Olive oil, Canola oil, Honey, Ketchup so I would assume much of the kitchen will show up, and don’t go near the bathroom. :-)You can fight odors if there are any (though I don’t think you mentioned it.) with an ozone generator while the property is empty.

If you want to go high horse and approve everyone, so be it, but have a contingency plan when tenants default.Some will argue that discriminating against Section 8 means you're discriminating against black people because there's a high correlation between the two.  

Some discrimination is certainly illegal, but the rest of it isn't necessarily black and white.Like I said in my previous post, everyone has their own set of business ethics (I used the term "moral compass," but again, I hate that term when it comes to business) -- yours might be different than mine, and that's certainly okay.  

The yard is also flooded all the time with sewage and there are black ants everywhere.

Home Depot have short  black or white metal fence sections that can be used as handrails.  

Also put on a new counter top as the old one looked like this:The black spots are where the laminate was scratched off and there were stains and other scratches on it.
