However, even though the lease says the tenant must do maintenance on the building, there are several deferred maintenance items (broken toilet, bad window seals, light fixtures).

A few hours after we left the property, he called to say water was leaking from the master bath (on the second floor) onto the first floor through the light fixtures.

Open to all, take a midmorning break and have a cup of coffee.

To top it all off, we just won the "Curbed Cup Neighborhood of the Year" http://nola.curbed.com/archives/2014/01/02/the-curbed-cup-neighborhood-of-the-year-is-bywater.php Truly, music to an investors ears :)Feel free to hit me up Chris.

The kitchen counters, cabinets, and bathroom fixtures are good to go with just a good cleaning.

If you are cutting a circle of drywall out to install a light fixture or outlet or light switch, test the piece you are pulling out, as you have a good edge where all paint levels are exposed.

They are paying $450 a month for a 2/2 and the landlord hasn't raised rent on them for years - at the same time, the landlord didn't do anything to maintain the property and just let it rot.I think when someone stays that long, they are no longer "tenants" they become "fixtures".

I know when Thursday rolls around, it's the first thing I look forward to, other than my cup of coffee.I haven't listened yet, saving it for a walk later, but as usual I know it will be great!

Painting, light fixtures, outlets and switches.

No countertops, no light fixtures.
