Hi,

We hired a local company to bleach and stain our decks for an investment property. Our tenants reside there.  They bleached the deck a week before they stained the decks. It took them 3 days to stain the decks bc we have a lot of deck space. Day 3 of staining happened last Saturday. They wrapped up (around 2:30/3pm, started at 8:30am knowing of potential thunderstorms, took pics of the deck when they left, and it poured (weather forecast predicted thunderstorms) that evening around 7:30pm. Our tenants took pictures on Sunday and Monday (see attached photos of how the deck looks post drying. They applied two coats bc the wood is dry and it's a semi-opaque stainer. When they applied the two coats, they did both coats back to back since we didn't pay a premium for their work. 

What do you recommend we should do?

Thanks! 

Hi,

Happy Mother's Day! I'm only finding a few available rentals for this hamlet as I think many people who live here have second homes or rent out on Airbnb/VRBO etc. If I buy this property, I would only want a tenant living there for at least 12 months. Not sure if it's worth the risk of buying this home. 

Thanks! 

I have no experience with manufactured homes nor with trailer/home parks. 

I own 2 other properties, one of them is an investment property. Thanks!

Hi,

I'm checking out this property in a week as a potential investment property. Any advice for what I should look for when I'm there?

Thanks!

Hi

The contractor acknowledged damaging the wood banister when installing it to the wall but denied scratching wooden doors. 

How do you handle a situation like this? Thanks!
