VA guidelines require that “The surface requiring treatment must be thoroughly washed, scraped, wirebrushed or otherwise cleaned to remove all cracking, scaling, peeling, chipping and loose paint and then repainted with two coats of a suitable nonleaded paint, or:The paint shall be completely removed or the surface covered with a suitable material such as gypsum wallboard, plywood or plaster before any painting is undertaken if the paint film integrity of the surface needing treatment cannot be maintained.” 

The big thing that you're missing, based on my reading, is tax treatment.

I haven't tried the epoxy grouts yet but will do so in the future, so for now it's the simple Comet treatment on my existing properties.

That is totally different than telling you that they don't provide regular pest control treatment which would be for roaches, ants, spiders etc.

As a result, there are some very sore opinions about this town because people (mostly non-locals) have lost a lot of money there.This time it will be different.Internally, and what most people cite as the difference makers, are the massive investments in the Junction and historic 25th Street district, the new Temple, neighborhood improvement projects, very long-view rezoning, and strict development enforcement.  

A good property manager will likely find several small items that the workers will do for free now or you can pay for them later.Advise what colors, window treatments and such will appeal to the broadest range of potential renters.Help you select the optional rehab items in terms of increased rent or reduced time-to-rent.

Until we (as a society) have effective vaccines, treatments, and some kind of immunity/immunization, those people in high risk groups will remain mostly isolated.

So RE investment activities suited for Hard Money loans would be within your reach, at least as far as your credit score goes.Best wishes on your endeavors. 

The efficiency of the treatment will depend on 1. where the problem is and 2. how the treatment is applied. 

Generally, if the budget allows; it is good to have a decent quality water treatment system at least for drinking and cooking purposes.
