George P. definition of "wear and tear" on carpet

the tenants at one house moved out a few weeks ago. they were there just one year and moved in after the house was freshly painted and re-carpeted.anyway. there were fingerprints and smudges on the walls all over the house and even areas that you'd have to try to leave a fingerprint. nothing that a new coat of paint can't cover, but the whole house needed to be re-painted.regarding the carpet, there are dog pee stains and large furniture impressions. they tried to steam all stains out and even used spray chemicals to remove them. it does not smell, but the stains are there.would you charge them or keep a portion of the s. deposit for something like this?
Corey Dutton How to Avoid Lending Scams

I have seen 100% financing that works if the LTV and the deal is good enough.Example appraisal has value at 1 million and contract price is for 65% or 70% LTV (650,000 - 700,000).What I have seen promised and has been a scam is lenders loaning 100% of stabilized value or market value.I have not seen one of those close.They typically take fees as stated or I have seen them take LARGE DEPOSITS and then delay closing the deal and never close but use the money for 6 months to make interest and money for themselves.

I own several SFHs in the lower end of the scale (20k-after-rehab-ish) and while those rent for 550$ on average, some months I may see 20% of that in net income, and most of the time like Jon side, when I get hit with something "unexpected" it may take a big chunk of the gross since while the house is cheap, maintenance costs are high in comparison.
