HOWEVER-   at the start of the third year of tenancy the deposit must be held in an interest-bearing account and the interest dispersed to the tenant each year at the anniversary of their tenancy. 

Some of the 90's were restricted with the proverbial hair/soap rats we find.

Let alone dirt being washed off, soap scum etc, just a difficult place for a window location and probably why they were abounded and not super common at least in this area in new builds but super common in the older homes.Glass block is probably as good of a solution as you are going to find. 

I would raise the rent 10% (assuming legal to raise it that much) at the 1 year anniversary of the last rent increase (this would leave you $125 below market rent but save the vacancy, rehab costs, effort/risk of placing a new tenant). 

Wash the walls with warm water and a bit of Dawn dish soap (or TSP). 

Use Murphies oil soap on the cabinets to bring them back to life and maybe update the handles.If everything is in good cosmetic shape, but just dated, you may want to consider renting it as-is for a couple years.

Scrub four times: TSP, simple green, comet, then dove dish soap.

thanks for your input 🙂 Incorrect:  † Annual Fee: Notwithstanding the foregoing, an annual fee of $99 will be assessed on each account anniversary if $99 in interest was not paid during the preceding 12-month period.  

To quote the HML I borrow from "If my loans have an anniversary, there's a problem".If you are keeping title in your LLC, you will have to obtain a commercial or private loan and each of those lenders will have their own required seasoning periods.

But... that is a whole different soap box on marriage that I probably should not get up on right now.So... if you are treating your marriage as a legal partnership then you should treat this investment the same way.
