One might be able to derive a sense of security and control from these models, but reality will follow it's own, unpredictable and messy course.Even brilliant minds are not immune to this.

Since you say "people" are complaining, that suggests more than one neighbor finds the mess left behind unsightly - which also suggests that your yard is not fenced and therefore your mess is just there for everyone else to live with.

I bought it as a HUD foreclosure and it was a mess!

Unfortunately, when someone leaves the "Wing” of Ohio Cashflow our hands get tied and things get messy when others (Realtors, property managers, etc.)… get involved.

Neither is great, but how to I minimize my hurt in a equally messy decision?

Some people just like To live that way- Messy class C of someone who is monitarily challenged.The working poor, that's why you should be judicious in choosing how you outfit the unit.Some will go with, for instance stone countertops (hard to damage), while others will go with formica (cheaper), And others will go with heavy duty paint (quick repairs on a turn) for countertops in a class C.

@Kyle RobertsonIt’s been a year now self employed and it’s been messy, hard, semi-depressing at times, small moments of questioning myself —- done in a pandemic... a lot of crazy highs and lows and emotional roller coasters... some of my greatest single-time paychecks and some stretches with with almost nothing... having a bad@$$ wife helps a ton as she went back to work for a while to support me...

If their agent gets involved and makes a mess I walk, otherwise the seller or I pay the agent and we get on with our lives.
