Maybe the foundation is slipping, the roof is needing full replacement, the plumbing backs up every time you are draining the tub and try to flush the toilet...  

The roof needs to be replaced anyway so I would plan to do that so really in the end, just the black soot coloring.Any issues I should be concerned with?   

The roof needs replaced and it would take a lot of work to make it look nice.

Maybe take the bricks out and space them throughout the driveway replacing the removed bricks with the ones you took out to place the old bricks???

When I see a property starting to underperform, as the manager I have to run the data to figure out why and then make adjustments whether is lack of amenities, need updated photos, replace a couple pieces of dated furniture or increase my focus on advertising that property specifically.

A refrigerator replacement will cost you $600 whether you are collecting $300/mo or $3,000/mo.

I have a 3 year old unit that cost me $10,000 to install that may need to be replaced soon because of tenant shenanigans. 

I was planning to replace the roof in about 6 to 10 months from now, because I ran out of money with the rest of renovations.
