We are going to cover the equipment with camouflage tarps this weekend because one is bright orange and can be seen from the road through the trees.Thanks for the perspective about the options on how different contractors work.

Or worse, they hurt their finances with unneeded overhead while adding risk because they don't maintain the entity correctly.A Land Trust is apples and oranges to an LLC.  

I am located in Orange County, CA. 

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment in Orange.

Is this Orlando or Orange County?

You don't go to the grocery store looking to buy oranges that are only 3 inches in diameter and weight 5 oz. 

You're comparing apples to oranges.

I'd hit it with mud and orange-peel-in-a-can myself while I was doing other maintenance on the property and call it $30.

That is of the homeless population that didn't want to leave the streets....oh, they take money and anything free, as long as no rules were involved.Another story I remember from Orange County about 5 years ago....the do-gooders took approx 400 homeless and put them in hotels... free food, medical, everything....all they had to do was live 1 month under County rules.

I guess it's like apples risk vs. oranges risk: recently-built apartment complexes are apples and involve risk (the construction defects, the stress Class A experiences during an economic downturn, etc.) and value-add/renovation type business plans involve oranges risk: you won't probably see any construction defects, but you have more vulnerability that the renovation plan + improved operations plan + repositioning will not work as optimally as originally hoped.
