We don't own any properties where it would be better to keep the pools and we find that almost no tenants ever use swimming pools with the exception of children who use them for only a few weeks during an entire year.We remove garbage disposers from every apartment because maintaining garbage disposers was a nightmare.

Low and behold the tenants moved stuff back in and the management company disposed of everything.  

In the past when I've looked for purchases cap rates were reasonable enough that purchasing listed assets on the open market was attractive.Now, having disposed of some matured assets I'm in the hunt for acquisitions again and want to diversify the portfolio (rather than simply lever up into even larger properties) into a larger number of properties.

Bulk salt, oils, vinegars and tons more.TP, paper towels, small soaps and shampoos, coffee pods, tea, creamers, Splenda and sugar packets, disposable cups, inexpensive food containers to take food home, Ziplocs, aluminum foil, parchment paper, plastic wrap....on and on.I believe is providing a lot of stuff like that for guests.

Maybe they were hoping I wouldn’t notice the bad smell permeating the house, or the unauthorized changes to the shower fixtures, missing closet shelves, mold/mildew on window sills and frames, filthy oven (all contrary to Lease), and also cigarette butts and dog waste outside (both required to be disposed of daily per the Lease)….well, you get the point.

However, as a novice in this field, I'm seeking guidance from the experienced members of this forum.Background:Age: 31Business: Growing rapidly with substantial disposable income that isn't needed to grow or operate.

@Jack B.Tax planning for an orderly disposal can be fun and highly recommend you work with your team on this.  

@Baha El Far After having owned two bed and breakfasts for 24 years I can tell you that you will have disposable costs each month with a STR.
