And also look at outdoor mats, indoor mats and rugs, etc.

They have a lot of large/heavy furniture (and a LOT of 'stuff' in general), and I am thinking they have probably moved a lot of their large items around by pushing/dragging across the carpet (just a guess on my part, but the carpet was fine before).

Switching out door knobs and cabinet hardware for a modern look.

I take pets and I won't rent to anyone who tells me their dog is outdoors only.They are tenants, so they are probably lying and the dog is an indoor dog, so I reject them for lying on the application.If the dog really is an outdoor only dog, I don't take pets that aren't considered part of the family.

Do you want to move all your furniture and home in the dead of winter?

You must be thinking of RTO places that sell TVs and furniture for x dollars per month :) As a landlord, I evaluate candidate properties on: gross rent yield, net cap rate, debt service coverage ratio, ARV comps for rental grade, and ARV comps for retail grade (a nicer rehab, IF in an area with a reasonable amount of retail activity).All of these are constraints on what I'll pay for a property.

There's some hardwood floors, marble fireplaces, premium carpet, furniture, bay windows, custom drapery, crown molding... a lot of things a bunny could find nasty.My deposits are about half of one month's rent.

But all their clothes, furniture, and food was gone.

It is easy for you to knock into a jack or wire with furniture during the move.

As they are all electric units (not gas), I don't have 220V service, in addition to the fact that washer/dryer can occasionally flood (4 units are on 2nd floor) as well as cost & moisture issues.I considered nad dropped the idea of coin op laundry given the buildings small size (6 units) and the fact that the outdoor "laundry shed" is not very secure and tenants constantly leave the shed door open and the coinboxes could be targeted, as well as I already have problems keeping neighbors from using it, etc.I am going to have the water company come out after closing, tell everyone to stop using water and they will check to see if the meter still spins - toilet leaks and faucet drips come to mind (I also wonder about possible main line water break, I had that happen twice in my life).
