@Mary Mitchell We are cheaper, charging $1 per wash or dry.

If I were doing that same job I wouldnt stop to call or text you  unless we found something major , like all the plywood needed replacing or  major rot on trusses . 

So far I've done some pretty major foundation repairs including completely waterproofing the foundation walls and replacing several rotted sections of the seal plate and several joist.

While I do think that there are a lot of reasons to remain cautious and underwrite as if there will be an adverse cycle during the life of any asset acquired today, I think the long bull run in income property has a lot of runway left in a lot of geographical areas.Your family is smart to save some dry powder to take advantage of opportunities, but I suspect that if they are waiting for a reset of pricing and an opportunity to buy at a discount to today's pricing they'll be waiting a while.A key difference between you and your dad is you have a lot more time to make your money back if you get into the market and subsequently get wiped out. 

Can throw in washer, air dry, and look like new again.8.

I read an article warning about possible illegal wiring, plumbing, bad sewer, rotting floor and danger of mold.

This case is very cut and dry in your favor as they are behind on rent.

In a gun friendly state, find a local gun club, have someone there help you shoot them, then decide if you are going to sell them.As for the ammo, if it is factory ammo, and looks like it has stayed dry, it is good for decades, again, have someone from your local gun club look at it.

Large flat walls are cheaper than small areas with lots of cuts & corners.It will take a small crew about 7-10 days to hang drywall, tape and mud, then let it dry a day or two, then sand, mud again, dry again and sand again, finish and clean up.

Then insurance demanded that I replace a porch floor that is rotted.
