Having 12 units turnover in a 3 month window without properly preparing can have a major residual effect on your bottom line.

If the 'lead inspectors' find lead residue, they will just recommend you paint over it (encapsulate it).

Mostly since the advances in water based paints gives you the same leveling, durability and adhesion without any of the fumes, toxins or horrible cleanup.With that being said, the paint I use (currently using McCormick Interlock) can last indefinitely if treated right.

Some stick together with overlapping adhesive and some snap together.

Goof Off, in gallon cans, probably would dissolve the adhesive, but it's very smelly and you'd have to set up some extra ventilation before starting.

I asked myself how much residual income could I build up in 15 years if I got out compared to staying in.

I had a high debt utilization and for VA loans, residual income is also considered:https://www.benefits.va.gov/WA...I purchased my third home with a VA loan.

Things in a scope of work might include:Quality Expectations : Max gap between edges and wallsAttachment mechanism: If any adhesives, screws, etc would be used, essentially spelling out expectations for how the install will happenDemo Responsibility: Perhaps you'd need to define if the contractor is responsible for removing the baseboard.Haul Off/Clean up: Do you have your own hourly resources to clean up the job site or is that part of the contractors responsibility?

There will be residual costs.For instance, in certain tourist areas like DC's National Monuments and Smithsonian Museums, it probably had a significant impact on the economy in these localities.There is NO making up for those loses, unfortunately.The other issues may involve things like Credit Scores and qualifications for a Mortgage, if they were in contract at this time.

It's new and it only works within Snohomish county.The residual land has a permanent conservation easement placed on its title that prevents it ever being developed for residential.
