Soon after purchasing the home, I found the ceilings were made of horse hair plaster.

That being said, I still want to pull my hair out sometimes because of the difficulties investing and working here.

In areas like Dallas or Fort Worth, I’ve seen professional cleaning range from $300–$600, especially when dealing with pet-related cleaning like removing cat hair from carpets.

Your property is fairly destruction proof, costs near nothing to maintain, yet you can charge above market rents.If your property is nicer (class B) where the carpet alone might be $6k or more to replace when the tenant spills hair dye everywhere, you won't be as happy as in the situation above.  

Starting all over from scratch... my gray hair is turning back black....LOL.   

.: Foreclosures usually have a lot of "hair" that goes with them.

Joe its all about NPV  and rate of return for investors.. either way your going to take a pretty big hair cut out of your equity to do what your wondering about. 

I am inclined to believe this is the chief complaint and they either have another option or underestimated their ability to adjust to a rental. 

@John Matthew Johnston 80% of the time, it's a thankless job:(You're never fast enough for complaining tenants, nor fast enough or cheap enough for owners.To have any chance of success, you have to be extremely organized, or every day starts with your hair on fire!

The same goes for your credit score, which tells us nothing about your ability to flip a house and pay us back.In sum: Experience, Integrity, a Killer deal.
