If I'm going to go through the effort to take the siding back and pull a window, I'm going to pull it completely, ensure the wrap is in-place correctly, blue shield, re-install and tape.I just had a tenant call this morning to tell me a window was leaking during all the freezing rain we had on the 23rd ... she thought nothing of it at the time, but today noticed a stain on the living room ceiling below this window.

As others have mentioned, I'm not aware of a specific law that prevents you to send letters to people if its a generic message.What are you using for a phone number?

This helps us prevent problems down the road.

I have a lot of experience in the default prevention space.

High utility costs (preventing tenant retention or direct impacts if included in rent) on big/old properties.

I explained there isn't much of anything I can do as I can't prevent the upstairs tenants from reasonable use of thier apartment.

This prevents puffing costs by the lender or never performing said services or engaging anyone and taking the money.First is find out if this person holds a license.

I understand that if I go with just grey plain non stained it's around $3 per foot.

You have a story to tell and unless there is much more to this story, I can't imagine this preventing you from getting a loan as long as you are ready and willing to put 20%-25% down on the duplex.Your rate will be higher sure, but you can refinance in a few years as your credit continues to improve.Mistakes happen.

Making sure I'm keeping a good tenant happy (and renewing) is just as important as preventing misuse of the property.
