We are a Property Management company managing over 250 doors in Houston that provides a complete hands-off solution for our clients.

I would like to be able to contact a property owner, so that I could present a potential creative financing solution (seller finance, lease options, etc.)

The food can be dust, soap scum, etc.Use a bleach solution or a special mold cleaner to remove the mold.

Not a solution, but going forward...Have all adult tenant prospects fill out applications which require their social security number, driver's license number, their birth date, their current address and their prior address.

@Emily Runyan Have you tried reaching out to ALE Solutions?

If they can't close on their house, they will have to figure out a temporary solution.

You will want to make sure you are installing something new that provides the right solution not just putting back something that matches but doesn't do the right thing in the first place.You may also want to consider rain gutters because doesn't look like the roof has much of a drip edge.
