I'm getting quotes around 27K for 140 linear feet of external waterproofing + wall rebuild.

Yes placement is huge, and also doing the metal piping fittings for ethernet lines externally. 

The ones that were not respectful caused externalities that the community had to bear. 

Finally, you make sure that there are external factors that are going to keep those pocket neighborhoods nicer than the rest of the area.

I wanted my first real estate investment to be a condo in order to avoid having to directly deal with external maintaince of the property and wanted a property in which tenents paided all utilities.

I understand that tenants have a right to quiet enjoyment but what responsibility do I have as a landlord to this external factor?

Questions like these will help you mitigate risk and see growth from externalities outside of the individual performance of the home which are factors that have a dominating impact on the market value over time.

Instead, you need to see the overlooked opportunities that are all around you and act on the vast sums of untapped income and unclaimed success just waiting to be harnessed.You probably spend too little time studying the most successful, innovative and profitable ideas people in other industries use to grow and prosper.Yet, if you start focusing on other industry’s success practices, you’ll be amazed at how easily you can adapt these ideas to your own business situation.Suddenly, you’ll see significantly better ways to produce significantly better results from the same time, manpower, effort, activity, and capital.Vision isn't easy.As a result, most people let the opportunity of a lifetime slip through their fingers & live to regret it; but in this case I could make it easy for you to Not let this one slip away so that you can take advantage of this unique opportunity with zero risk.Instead, you need to see the overlooked opportunities that are all around you and act on the vast sums of untapped income and unclaimed success just waiting to be harnessed.In a recessionary economy like this, some 30 million people could be out of work -- they lost their jobs, got put on shortened work week.Millions will be (or are, right now) aggressively looking for business opportunities they can purchase or start.Though most of them don't have a lot of cash to invest, they still need income, they need work, they need productive activity that makes them money and keeps them feeling worthwhile.I believe there’s not one business owner or startup I’ve ever met in North America (and probably the world) who couldn’t, who shouldn’t broaden their perspective and think about how to grow yourself a small or large business empire.And that can mean nothing more than multiplying the size of your current business many times through external leveraged buyout acquisition activities.Or it can mean multiplying it through a roll up.

But people should try to be less hung up on external validation.
