I love your name, when I was in martial arts Tiger was one of the five animals we studied.

As a very active investor, all it takes one top to convert to make it worth the price of admission and we got our money back as a result with interest.Fortune builder is a totally different animal from most courses.

If you're planning on doing it yourself, it's a lot of work, but you should be able to find someone for about $1.00-$1.25/sf and not worry about a thing.Plus, once you sand and refinish, you could probably get away with a buff & coat the next time they need redone and you can get that done very cheap.

Or, my landlord doesn't like animals.

As was mentioned, CA is. different animal.

Without having gone inside, I can tell that some sturdy laminate flooring, a new coat of paint, and slightly upgraded appliances (with perhaps a cabinet upgrade here and there) would probably bring the units up to standard.

We are strongly incentavised to avoid slow/no pays, drama, damage, animals and nitpickers. 

I’m a full time pharmacist with a full sleeve tattoo and often run into this same mentality...and I often wear long sleeve white coats to hide it since I deal with such a large daily population.

In other words, if you learn how to effectively manage single family, the learnings will apply to duplexes, triplexes, and quads.Apartments are a completely different animal. 

The tenant doesn't have the opportunity to get the extra money back (since it is rent and not a deposit) and therefore are less motivated to clean up after the animal.
