@Kenneth Picha  I fly a SR 22 we have an out it he whole plane parachute... if we use it 99% survivable is the stat.In RE there is no chute... you really need to be spot on there will be no soft landing if your not. 

Use floor rugs and towels to add color. 

Find a private lender or a hard/soft money lender to work with.

I finally asked her to put a bunch of towels on top of the washer and I would wash them through a cycle.  

The cost is $15 which includes nacho bar and soft drinks.If you plan to attend please comment here on this thread, or go to Meetup.com.

John - I have learned this lesson all to well with these tenants.

While you are looking at things to fix, the biggest one I find is lots of soft spots to downright holes in the particle board subfloors. 

They are more work - normally the units are furnished and stocked with towels, dishes, utensils, etc. ... kind of cross between an apartment and a hotelIn your situation, I presume they are bringing their own furniture, but you may want to consider renting furnished as there is less wear and tear to your unit with all the moving in and moving out.Here we are not allowed to require or accept rent more than one rental period in advance.  

It getting the insert fitting in the poly is a bit hard use a torch and very quickly heat the inside of the poly to get the resins soft . 

:)I think you are right about just biting the bullet and doing it, although I'd have your agent push back to the buyer's agent about missing the appraisal window and the inconvenience this causes... and do a soft-sell on not pushing back the closing because of their error.
