I sent you a massage via your website @Dave Holland.

Hi my name is Josh Shaw, I own a commercial roofing restoration company looking to invest in multifamily 12+.

I tried to have the Terrazzo floors restored but it failed real bad.  

So thank you for working to restore a cottage and protect its style!

During that two years, find one other property to rent and put up with the TENANTS, until you sell your RESIDENCE and move into your rental to do this again...for the rest or your life.

Good friends have reached out to find and buy a used range for her from a restore (and just not tell her about it, because she would not allow it).  

Your agreement should state that if the tenant does move out, he is responsible for restoring the property to how it was before his modifications.Since he will be utilizing more of your space, you also would have the right to charge a higher rent (typically his current rent + the cost of rent that the vacant unit was going for).

I closed on the property and spent about 20K to restore it to good condition, and am renting it out at this point.

Water damage restoration company removed some drywall and flooring .

Although my house is unfurnished and therefore less convenient, it is closer to the potential renters' home, making it easier to keep up with the restoration work.The potential tenant also wanted me to include utilities and TV service in the rent and mark it up accordingly.
