Instead of skim coating, its probably easier just put drywall on top of it and that is what the subs you hire are going to want to do. 

Cleveland is the land of milk and honey right now...

And any hospital or doctor running a battery of tests "just in case" is milking the system.I saw a show on 60 Minutes, where a hospital paid twenty cents for a part used in a surgery and charged the Insurance Company over $100.00 for it.

Internet of Things (IoT)The Internet of Things, or IoT for short, is like a superpower for everyday objects.Imagine if your refrigerator could tell you when you're running out of milk, or your streetlights could adjust their brightness based on the time of day.That's what IoT does – it connects regular things to the internet, allowing them to talk to each other and to us.Here's how it works in simple terms: IoT devices are like little smart helpers.They can be anything from your smartwatch and thermostat to your car or even a trash can.These devices have tiny computer chips and sensors inside them.These sensors can detect things like temperature, motion, or even the level of water in a plant pot.Now, here's the cool part.These smart devices can send the information they collect to the internet using Wi-Fi or other connections.That means you can check your smartwatch to see how many steps you've taken today, even if your phone is in another room.IoT isn't just about convenience; it's also about making the world more efficient and safer.For example, IoT can help cities monitor traffic and reduce congestion, or it can alert you when there's a water leak in your home, potentially saving you from a big mess.So, the Internet of Things is like giving everyday objects a voice and a brain.It's making our lives easier, our cities smarter, and our world more connected.

The last thing MKE needs is OOS investors who are trying to milk old properties for cash flow until they are unentable.

I have just removed my popcorn ceiling and applied 1st skim coat flat.

@Cody Warhursti just skimmed your post but the short answer is, you're not misunderstanding anything.no one selling is worrying about your cash flow. 

Now consider the complexity of that actual market sector where there are middle men skimming a cut for product placement and inventory management all over the country.

Illinois is not the only state where wholesaling is illegal, people have been popped for it here in Colorado as well in cases of egregious equity skimming.

Today he owns over fifty trucks and hauls milk and juice all over the tri-state area and has built himself a nice net worth.He always advised me to take a different path, though.On one of our trips to Florida to visit Terry and my sister we ended up going to one of Terry's commercial properties he owned.
