I've gathered more knowledge than I can implement with all the BP content and other materials, lol.

But, I am not willing to commit to 50 years (if I am lucky) of never harvesting material equity from my rental properties at this time so that she can inherit potentially millions or tens of millions of 2074 dollars at stepped up basis.I plan to pay the tax man and spend some of my money at some point.

The floor of a deal killer has no bounds, you could be wrecked for eternity if it's a material deal.

Little paint and the contractor I found let me buy the material and only charged me labor.

To remedy that, the carpets should be ripped up and sealant applied to the subfloor, at minimum.There are also tiles in the smaller upstairs bathroom that are lifting up and creating a safety hazard; putting a rug on top is not a sufficient solution.The house is in a condition that materially interferes with the health of household members.

Due to inflation and the drastic increases in material, labor, and supplies, that's naturally caused carriers to rethink limits/values on file. 

We had to repaint the entire unit because the material he used left oil stains everywhere.

Keep in mind local zoning laws and market conditions in Portland versus Salem—Portland might offer higher rents but stricter regulations, while Salem could provide better cash flow opportunities.Your design approach has proven successful, so continue focusing on appealing upgrades like kitchens and bathrooms, but prioritize cost-effective and durable materials for rentals.

Mice are filthy and when their fecal matter dries up it becomes airborne because it's powder and it's full of diseases and it's hard to see visually when it dries up.

As brokers, we all have a duty to "discover and disclose" material facts.
