I reviewed the SB9 legislation, and it states that properties occupied by a tenant in the last 3 years are excluded from SB9 but only if the project includes demolition or altering more than 25% of the exterior structural wall.

Evan took an online class and learned how to replaster walls and yes I do mean old school plaster.

@Dave Meyer, while I like the idea of this thread, I think there are a lot of nuances that go along with this.At surface level, I am in 4 syndications, 3 of the 4 are paused.  

Darien Pass/Panama-  There already is a couple hundred miles of JUNGLE wall there. 

So if there is a fire due to natural cause, HOA insurance will cover the cost of exterior repair like painting the exterior walls.

@Diana Teng there are a LOT of potential pitfalls:(So, it's vitaly important to not just find someone that you think you can trust because they tell you what you want to hear, but you find someone that their processes seem a good fit for what you want.EXAMPLE: we do BRRR Turnkeys for clients and take numerous vides we share with them - initial, worst state of any demo, when HVAC, plumbing, electrical update BEFORE walled in, before any major payouts and of course a final walk-thru video.One thing that's accurate from all the HGTV renovation/flip shows is that you should expect and plan for surprises!

I can see in that one pic that you could use a bit more artwork on the walls.

My current tenant has removed a picture from the wall and replaced the provided bedding with their own belongings. 

The two types I get from Arcade Headquarters are the standard full size cabinet with 60 games and then a whiskey barrel setup with controls on top with a 42” display mounted on the wall behind it.

Tons of double sided tape used which results in a fair amount of extra effort to restore (most cases paint comes right off the wall requiring patching sanding etc, some cases Good-off was effective.
