The market is pretty dry at the moment.

Some of it was 'donated' labor - I tore out a rotted part of a bathroom floor, replaced the subfloor and put in new floating vinyl - but the expensive/time laborious stuff was bought.

Having some asset (like medical offices) “back your investment” is a little different than wanting to be a silent partner in the local dry cleaning or boutique smoothie joint.

I am also putting a tenant in another property and I find out the well went dry ( that was another post )  Getting that done took time away from the first project  .

Sometimes the seams will dry out and lay flatter.

Is it legal to remove rotting food that might damage the property before the lease ends?

Prices are rising and deals are drying up here.

It does not look like there was ever any treatment done at any point to fix the issue, and some of the beams are completely rotted through.

Renovate the property (would cost around $40k to do the major renovations such as getting the plumbing and electrical up to code, redo the siding of portion of the house (there's some rotting wood), install new cabinets and redo the bathroom, etc.2.

How much are you willing to spend on new carpet, window seals, new hardwood, dry wall to avoid replacing the forced air system?
