We ended up patching it instead of replacing it so we pocketed the rest. 

In my approach selling should never be your 1st opinion when you are in a strong market and have a little bit of a bumpy patch.

I could have asked him to change it, but it would've left a hole in the drywall that had to be patched and that would've been more work and more of a delay so we decided to leave it as is.

Yeah i want to buy small patches of land or just do a planned development community.

They had a lots of pumpkins still left over from their mini pumpkin patch they had in the backyard and just lots of stuff inside the house.

We plan on splitting the utilities, putting in an egress window and leveling the floor in the basement, make the basement bath functional, upgrading the main floor bath, replacing or refinishing flooring, painting throughout, removing some overgrown trees, doing touch up paint outside, and patch repairing some cement work. 

., inspect the mortar joints and bricks, if any deficiencies (holes) arefound we will patch the hole with hydraulic cement.

Cut around the brackets, then fill in and level with a floor patching compound.Or I'd do a tile floor with an isolation membrane -- I don't like that crack in the corner much, either.

I suspect this patch we are going through might affect the overly leverage to little reserve land lord..

For example a leaking roof isn't very hard to notice if a proper walk-though was completed (discolored ceiling paint, patches, cracks, etc).
