Hardly anyone can prep properly, mask or dropcloth properly, cut in around trim and windows, get even coverage, etc. 

We also tell them that we charge $25 per hole for TV mounts, shelves etc I think that $10 up-front investment has reduced the number of issues by probably 80%.Our walls are textured (sand textured in Milwaukee, orange peel textured in the western suburbs - yes, there is an actual dividing line), so we try to avoid the usual palm-sized patch and fill only the hole without making it bigger, so we can get away without texturing.

However, when peeling back the layers I find myself at dead ends time and time again. 

Every flip is like peeling back layers of an onion, but this one came with tears, sweat, and the occasional scream into the void.

You can also leave out some bulk hotel toothbrush/toothpastes, make up removers, earplugs, sleeping masks, etc. if you really want to step up a "In Case You Forgot" basket.You can keep a closet with extra of things that has a lock on it and if someone is irrate because they don't have enough pods, you can at least have a back up solution for them if you choose too. 

Wear a mask.

Cheap materials, thin walls, the LVP was peeling already not to mention the transient individuals in the parking lot. 

If you do pick a market with heavy single-family or mobile home segments, keep your eyes peeled for local property management teams who actually cater to that niche.

But then masking the fear with, a moral justification of I don’t want to dedicate what is requires to _______ (fill in the blank) because it is too much of a sacrifice of time away from my family.

Simply covering the mask as sales pushers.
