I may seem a little in the dark to be a landlord because I should not be one limke the countless millionaires on this website,  but I  need some way to make money to live.

The ones that take the time to educate themselves FIRST, shadow those who have succeeded in this business, read books, go to networking events, and after properly equipping their mindset; get their first deal.This is by no means me venting or even a means to plug something.

@Kimberly Kesterke  bad tenant, really change a light bulb,,,, I would tell them live in dark, OR ok but its a $50 fee 

I talked to the owner who decided he would like to rent it personally and we were moving through the final stages of the process and now he has gone dark on me.  

This is such a small house it would be so easy to paint the brick, but a better option would be changing the red portion to either black, dark brown or a dark blue.

If you can find evidence, or have an idea of where the mouse has been and the paths it tends to travel, disturb all around those areas daily (especially after dark), by vacuuming, mopping, scrubbing, moving items, etc.

Is it even a good idea to keep the tenant in the dark like this, or could it end up making things more complicated, maintaining a web of lies, etc...

She’s gone Dark on you.

This blocks natural lighting and makes the place look dark and uninviting.You need multiple angles of each room.

It is inevitable that rates will rise and it is equally inevitable that banks will eventually eliminate their shadow inventory.
