@Bruce LynnYou obviously have a hardened position on this matter.

@Sean McDonnell This is just not a coastal rate increase, the entire insurance market has started harden.  

@Travis Harden It really depends on the location and size of the laundromat.

You could easily grade the area, add steel edging and install decomposed granite with a hardener or stabilizer to create a low cost patio. 

As an apparently knowledgeable house flipper, this will keep him around as a borrower.Sorry for the sarcasm, but this is not the way to treat a customer, nor to run a business, in my view.I don’t know if you ever flipped a house, Greg, but it’s almost impossible for even the most battle-hardened rehabber to accurately predict the duration of a flip.

I know it's easier said than done, but you need to harden your heart when it comes to tenants or they will walk all over you.
