They don't hold paint well over time because the internal moisture (the chemicals used in their treatment) wants to push out and will cause the paint to fail very quickly.Oil-based paint may not comply with regulations, considering how close you are to the water.

If you're going over concrete make sure to check concrete temperature and  moisture content; both affect the bonding process during the life of the floor.

These leak more often than not and moisture invasion can be a real b****.Even with some decking you'll need to punch some holes in the roof and walking a roof flexes it and makes small holes bigger.

Walking on a roof or attaching anything is sure cause of moisture invasion.Only guys who do roofs should be up there.

I gently asked him not to do that but he just said he was doing it anyway. 

In the inspection I don’t see any mention of the 20 sandbags near the foundation but the inspector did have one line stating “marginal- vegetation need to be cut back away from the house as they may damage the side” and “acceptable- drainage”When I looked back at the disclosure I see where the previous owners have repaired moisture damage in the past by a company called biosweep.

I'm going to be gentle and gradual with rent increases and renovating the interiors. this is one of the reasons why the owners decided to sell to me instead of a larger investor/ developer that was going to be aggressive and displace all the tenants right away. several of these tenants are Legacy tenants.

You can find gently used or scratch and dent appliances.

In humid flood prone Houston I can see moisture issues.

Hard wood floors in the kitchen are notorious for not holding up that great due to extra water and moisture.
