You can buy lead paint test vials at Home Depot, but you would need to have access to the lead paint layer.

Home Depot allows you to create digital keys you can cut if you lose a key or need to give someone a key when you are away.

The one downside to this arrangement is the tracking of expenses because so many household & otherwise personal expenses become split expenses: the landscape gardening, the cleaning of house & rental unit if single payment, the utilities, your tax accountant, homeowner's insurance, umbrella insurance, real estate taxes etc.

., no pitbulls, one licensed vehicle on property, no noise, no alterations, no vegetable gardens, BBQ away from house, no pets, etc,.

I often hire unlicensed/uninsured (home depot/craigslist) and am looking to go more legit in my owner/build remodeling/rehabbing.

May have to remove any improvements and grow a garden or something...LOL

Basic stainless appliance suite at Home Depot or Lowes, about $2200 for 4 pieces or less than $2000 for 3.

We had one applicant, sweet little old lady, who just LOVED our house and could envision herself doing a bit of gardening out front.  

I have gotten pretty stable tenants that actually take care of the property.my one property with just average amenities seems to be the opposite I cannot seem to get a proper paying tenant in there.I am not saying there is a correlation just reporting facts.my upscale items are purchased from closeout sales or odd lotor on sale or clearance at Home Depot or LowesMany items I purchase from Amazon and save a lot there as well.
