If you burn it, or heat it to over 1100*F (using a heat gun to peel paint or remove wallpaper), it releases a chemical that will cause brain swelling and that brain swelling can cause brain damage or death. 

I'd rather bleed slowly than bleed out all at once but maybe that logic is flawed.I've contacted a short sale expert in my area so I'll see what they recommend.

Many landlords think PM's are blood sucking leeches bleeding them dry................ : )I looked at the model about 7 or 8 years ago as I was analyzing all kinds of real estate niches.

I used tape to secure the plastic to tthe carpet or other flooring and placced it under the base molding so there is no worry about paint bleeding under the tape.

My goals are simple, to buy and hold the asset, pay off the mortgage using some of my money and supplemented by the current rental yield, and maybe in 20 - 30 years when the city center has swelled up past the building and it becomes more valuable , consider tearing it down and building a more appropriate structure. 

Second I don't even have to run any numbers to see that at this price the property bleeds cash.

You must stop the bleeding as soon as possible.

@Dirk S. Well

No doubt they are "looking" at it, it's the kind of small stuff that administrations look at instead of doing something major to stop the bleeding.

The word “town” certainly conjures up an image of a place where “everybody knows your name” and you can count on your neighbors to be kind to one another.But with Gilbert’s population swelling to city sizes (330,000 projected in the next decade) and the town’s 100 year anniversary in 2020, perhaps it’s time for the community to consider a title change from city to town.And maybe a change of attitude regarding big city features like apartment complexes too.But just maybe ;-)...Any Gilbert residents out there?
