They protest by "lying down"--doing the minimum to get enough money to work, which chips away at the bedrock of China's highly inefficient and manpower dependent economy.Dragging us back on topic, this is why Black Rock and assorting enterprises buying up huge swathes of real estate isn't some sort of signal that it's reassuring for ordinary people to be in real estate but rather a warning of the desired new regime post Great Reset. 

For example, here's a short list of things we'll be looking to update while living in the unit:- Clogged upstairs bathroom drain-Need bathroom fan- Bathtub porcelain chipped- Broken balcony door- Broken kitchen window- Missing smoke detectors- Redo kitchen floors- Refinish living room floors- Paint in all rooms- Improve kitchen cabinetsWe don't have a specific $$ budget, but we're always looking to keep costs low while providing quality.

Can I please get some recommendations for landscapers to contact for the Sherman Oaks, CA area?

Heck, if you approach it right, he might even be willing to chip in a couple bucks for it.

Thanks for your perspective.If you interview for a job and your resume is perfect and you have all the skills it does not mean the employer will hire you.Same thing here.I do not want to deal with the people that do not have basic decency and good manners.And I do not like tatted women with a chip on their shoulder.If their outside is messy just think what is hapenning in their mind.These people are trouble makers.I do judge a book by its cover.Period. 

@Chip Chronister is the man.

We install custom oak kitchen cabinets with high-quality hinges and drawer rollers so when a tenant damages the cabinets we can remove the face, make new doors and drawer fronts, paint the frames and our cost never exceeds $1200. i don't know how well your cabinets will hold up or what you will do if they start to sag and fall apart.

It's overall more robust but chips fairly easily.

We've been using Lowes Style Selections Natural Oak 7mm Thick Wood Plank 8"x48" Laminate Flooring in 100 rentals for years.
