I am shaken, at times to the point of panic (mild exaggeration) at the thought of getting a low mark - especially for cleanliness - in my first review or two just because the place shows its age in places. 

Generally Texas has not seen a terrible real estate downturn since the 1980s.  2008=2010 was mild as compared to the nation, but the next downturn in Texas is going to hurt.

I keep hearing mild rumors there are cash flow options down there, but so far no one has actually been able to show anything.

If all I'm doing is cleaning and mild touch ups/repairs, I can do that in a matter of days..... then my open house is within a week of move out.In a real hot market and a well kept property, I know some show it before the tenant moves out....

I also tend to buy mildly distressed buildings where a lot of these issues can be a given.

With the coming of online vacation rental sites like Airbnb, true occupancy is not disclosed, and we're left to guess.The result of guessing is some level of inaccuracy (mild to wild), which brings criticism to market pricing / availability tools.

Hello,I have been looking for my first multi unit (duplex) in the Willamette Valley wine country area of Oregon ( it will become Sonoma in 20 years ;-) ) and my retired father (healthy and active  66 years old) has been mildly interested in selling his home (no mortgage) for a change of scenery and possibly to move closer to our growing family.

. - Dec 17 we do the test and it reveals mild elevation (500-1500 ppm) of either Penicillium (laundry room, 1 bedroom) or Cladosporium (bathroom).

Go a couple mildes south to the Mayfair Reserve and you are looking at around $1700 for a 2BR apartment.

I understand that ultimately, the responsibility falls with me...but I also wanted to reach out and see if anyone has a perspective or strategic approach to rectifying this manner. 1) Connect pipe (50ft) - not overly concerned with this aspect. 2) Clean up and have restoration company undo the damage - mildly concerned and expect a few thousand dollars fee (who pays?)
