This was a cost-effective way to meet our requirement of providing just a stove and refrigerator (we don’t include washers or dryers), without breaking the bank further.But here’s the twist: If we were upgrading appliances for a long-term tenant with a stellar payment history, we might invest in brand-new appliances.

Omaha, Chicago, Austin, Phoenix, even San Antonio-I’m always keen to chat and share what I’ve learned from two decades of navigating the twists and turns of this world.

Yea, this may be a bad tenant, but you have to know how to manage that and not get all twisted up in back-and-forth pettiness.
