I called him and met him at the property and showed him all the issues that were huge liabilities to his father's financial health - missing railings on stairs, loose railings on the 2nd floor, a vacant unit with an unlocked front door, homeless people living in 2 of the garages, major cockroach infestation in one of the units, a hole in the wall between one unit and the laundry room, a neighbor dumping trash over the wall onto that early mentioned vacant unit's balcony.

Still leaves a pretty big bedroom.2nd unit 3 br/1bSeparate metersProbably have to replace both furnaces and water heaters but other work appears cosmetic with exception of upstairs kitchen.Has 3 garages, decent enough shape but will likely change doors down the road.Small stairs/deck that is old.

Full remodel in the last year. all new windows, doors, roof, soffit, driveway, sidewalk, stairs, fully finished basement, new hot water heater, new furnace. 

If you pour leveling cement and then try and use an angled flooring nailer, I would suspect the cement would shatter and chips would prevent the flooring from being flat on the subfloor.

I worry about him falling down the stairs.  

In a rush to leave a John Doe collided with one of his buddies trucks & then the girl scrapped the entire length of her fairly new vehicle down the side of the cement basement wall.

Question - Would the cost of changing the layout around, moving structure, electrical, plumbing, etc. be significantly more than rebuilding a set of exterior stairs? 

A roof leak appeared and water damaged the semi basement (the roof was over the stairs that lead to it).

Major repairs and replacements on roofs, plumbing, decking, and cement should be detailed by estimated costs and the dates work is to be started and completed.As with income, expenses do not occur evenly throughout the year.
