They went on to have rallies and demonstrations at this big companies offices and even picketed the CEO's houses.. it made national news. 

I've done both, and they are reasonable with pricing on most things, although paying a handyman hourly to re-screen windows or secure fence pickets can get expensive, so we try to come in town once a year and take care of all the little things to avoid those costs.  

I should also note that the pics of the back deck are not accurate - they are before we "fixed" the deck after the guy I hired to fix it, fixed it (there shouldn't be that much space between the pickets - kids could fall through).So the end result - I've put in about $110,000 (it's funny how you can find money when you need to - I none of these properties have loans against them), My credit score is down 100 points (some costs have gone on credit cards and I've used a lot of my savings up), and I've gained a bit of experience compared to what I've done in the past.Going forward - I have two tax liens that I'm waiting to hear from a lawyer by the end of the month to see if foreclosure is complete.  

Reading the tone of the post, and between the lines, I suspect that you had issues because you were trying to get an investment property loan from someone that mostly only does W2 white picket fence owner occupant husband/wife loans.

Any guidance is accepted and I’m looking this bigger pickets helps me gain knowledge and some one who can guide me through the process.

I installed the snap lock allure (a darkish color but I can't remember the name) in two rentals and a small commercial space about 4 years ago.

Bigger pickets just published on recently.   

I COULD chop the tops of these metal posts down to a uniform height, cap them off, and use these brackets on a more ventilated/picket fence around the property.
