It is very common for pets to urinate in the property, which doesn't create visual damage.

This doesn’t cover every jurisdiction, but it does cover a ton in a good visual with very specific information  about the types of crimes reported: https://communitycrimemap.com/@Deonte Brown is right about the reasons why.

📝 Below are specific systems & processes I have used for managing my long term rental portfolio in the Omaha, Nebraska market:Zillow & Apartments.com to list properties for rent & receive applicationsPre screening prospects with a few baseline questions before scheduling showings to weed out non qualified parties & tire kickersApartments.com (previously Cozy) for management platform, receiving rental payments, & accountingInputting expenses for each property each month Separate bank account for holding tenant depositsEscrowing insurance & property taxes in monthly paymentLockbox to allow contractors access during rehabHVAC maintenance contract for service twice a yearGutter cleaning company scheduled once a yearLeave on agreements with utility companies for all propertiesAutomatic late fees applied after rent due dateInforming tenants to email all non emergency repair requests & include images if possibleContacting contractor about a needed repair & having them get in touch with the tenant directly for schedulingPaying contractors promptly and thanking them for their good serviceMailing 2 tenant tip letters a year incorporating visuals for various items such as winter preventative maintenance, what not to flush down the toilet, reminder to clean lint trap from dryer, etc.

The two 2/1 apartments were built to be 1750ft2 each at a time when the Borough of Homestead, two streets down, had the same population density as Manhattan has today.As far as the downspouts go, I don't think you're visualizing what's being done correctly. the existing copper gutter is actually being covered, as an integrated part of the roof, hanging within the fascia above the soffit, and new aluminum gutters are being installed at the edge of the roof, hanging outside the fascia.

A universal rule is CLEAN, I can not emphasis this point enough, a marketed unit must be CLEAN, neat and presentable and clean means CLEAN in all aspect including the smell, touch, visual. 

This has led to everything being visually/physically slanted inside of the apartment, I don't have any interest in going down to the foundation or studs to redo everything and have decided to just do what I can try to make it look better. 

They rented based upon what was visually evident at the time, same for your backyard.

Then when the electrician was almost done, I'd ask for another $6k to match the progress of the work that you could visually see and verify yourself.

It doesn’t sound like there’s any visual water damage if it’s seeping on to concrete.Try a garden hose and then get a quote from a landscaper to direct the water away from the house.

I have the content but I've spent some time trying to make it visually appealing, however that has been a failure.
