And there were hundreds of them about ¼ to ½ inches apart, so basically all the wood was perforated.

for us its leaving a few chunks of wood in the crawl space LOL

Even if you use piers, they are usually concrete (which is OK for most lenders), steel or wood on concrete.

I actually like the cabinets from way back that were solid wood.

I've already renovated one of the bathrooms, and I’m planning to paint the interior, update the kitchen cabinets, possibly sand the wood floors, build a fence is a corner lot and increase the rent for the room since my tenant is currently renting the entire 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house for $800 a month.

They fight Federal attempts to remove old wood by suing.

If the tenant didn't know to contact you since May, it's because you did not train them on what to call about (water and fire are the first calls on first sight).

Use LVP flooring, it's cheaper than installing new hard wood floors and they're more durable for longevity purposes.

The faux wood home depot ones hold up better than the cheap plastic ones.

Nobody wants a unit to sit vacant, but if you make your decisions based on fears like that they are more likely to be short sighted and make the situation worse.
