I tried to make this short, but I see you can use a breath of air. 

You would need a great contractor to tell you how much it costs to breathe life back into the deal. 

Why would anyone pick you vs the other 409274,000,00 and 1 people also marketing those exact same services.I live and breathe marketing and that is WHY we make a pretty lil penny.Take it seriously, no shortcuts.

I don't like to breathe down my tenants' necks for everything they do.

When the contractor arrives, take a deep breath. 

Well I'm glad now some of these other landlords might can take a breath and get some faith again because alot of them had about gave up on the ramp program. 

I think I will breath easy after the first year.

The mother is the cosigner and does not want an eviction filed under her name so said she would pay it (I'm not holding my breath however).

It is not *bonkers* to expect someone to stay in the place for 5+ years since that is the norm under REI, largely because they have top notch management that keeps tenants happy.You need to take a deep breath before writing in a public forum with such vitriol.

@Patricia Mendoza ok deep breath…the biggest mistake I see people making from this point on is thinking this guy will fix it/change.
