If you're into DIY, then get out the hammer, nails and the saw and go to work, otherwise let the GC do his job as you're paying for FAR more than just a body to do the hammering!

Marcus Auerbach has hit the nail on the head!  

The ONLY things I had to do was patch/paint a small nail hold (done as quickly as the mud dried) and re-hang a towel bar.

I have hours and hours on my hands, to help you follow up, make calls, learn a trade ( I am handy with a hammer and nails, and I learn fast OJT )..

@Jonathan Makovsky nailed it on the pets.

Just to put this in context for folks not from the Bay Area that might be reading this, here's what we face in the Bay Area:- REO "specialist" realtors nailing access panels shut, and telling buyers that their inspector can't go in there until after inspection contingency is removed.- Sellers hiding that the 4th bedroom in a 1923 home has no foundation at all.- Sellers failing to disclose clearly visible earthquake damage that has been in place since 1989, but that a Common Joe might not notice, so they are only going accept offers with no inspection contingency, even if it's an offer for $30k less than the other offer with a 6 day inspection contingency.- REO "specialist" realtors opening pre-escrow with multiple title companies, looking at the prelims, and using whichever title company screwed up and didn't notice the clouded title.

@Jimmy Chou nailed it pretty well. 

Julie Marquez nailed it. 

It's not clear to me whether I should value it more like a Tosa property or more like a west side Milw property.What I like about the neighborhood:- In Tosa school district- Near all the cool North Ave retail activity- Might attract tenants attached to the Medical CollegeWhat I dislike:- Proximity to rougher areas of Milw- Immediate area is mostly scrubby retail like nail salonsYour thoughts?

Could this be from scuffs and nail holes?
