If I contract a home and use you as my inspector, since I have never used you before and don't have a way to judge your work, If you use me as your inspector, determine upfront whether you want me to be nitpicky and create the largest report of meaningless findings to aid in getting a price negotiated lower (often due for new bills), a minimum number of findings to make it easier to purchase (often the desire expressed from real estate agents who don't want to blow up the transaction) or somewhere in between these two extremes. 

My hope is that the wealth of knowledge here at this incredible resource will aid us in solving that problem. 

@Jose N. you can do maintenance with band-aids or replace/upgrade the problem.Often cheaper overall to use band-aids to get as much "life" out of a system.Roofs for example.

In addition, I hope you added it to your own aids--"city turn on water at meter (often unlock it) and leave it in the off position so as not to flood home".  

I just want to rip the band-aid off already.

Ask all the class C tenants upstate how these legislative "aids" are helping them?  

What he's asking is "will you facilitate and knowingly aid me in tax evasion"?

If its a stagnant growth market what benefits do you achieve waiting a few years rather than ripping off the band-aid and paying your LTCG taxes now? 

It would be great if more folks could provide responses to the survey to aid in discussion instead of just commenting on their objection to performance fees :-)

The inability of the tenant to pay rent significantly affected my cash flow, and despite the availability of state aid programs, it took several months to bounce back.
