Normal wear and tear" generally refers to minor scuffs, scrapes, and scratches, chipped corners, and simple wear from repetitive use.

Fix interest rates at the lowest rate for the longest time possible$400k in IRA — action:  select SD IRA custodian, initiate new account, transfer funds.Don’t approach all of them at once, but rather move each project as far down the line as possible until you’re finished or you are waiting on a delegated task to be completed, then start chipping away at the others.I think you’ll be surprised at the progress you make overall by approaching them incrementally, but more importantly I think you’ll be blessed by the mental peacefulness that comes through this approach (taken from the book Getting Things Done)

No other vacation rental data firm has any blue chip credentials. - We understand Everbooked is slowly closing its doors.

Now that I had chewed my own arm off to escape what was a prison (working at a job a disliked with a passion until I was 65), I had all my chips stacked on the table in front of me and here covid comes, a pandemic that essentially changed life as we know it in this country.

Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2022/01/21/intel-ohio-building-computer-chip-factories-licking-county-jersey-township/9173472002/ Here are a few more recent investments https://www.10tv.com/article/money/business/hydrogen-power-company-hyperion-bringing-700-jobs-to-columbus/530-25907aab-5517-4661-a9f3-d2ed2d5be6b0

Thanks I went to an in person meeting in San Antonio that had a Q and A session as well a a power point.They had it in their nice building in a nice neighborhood, with a lot of their customers queing up and milling around.I met some of their key employee's and had my written list of questions answered.They even had chips and bottled water for the meeting participants.If your Section-8 has a meeting like this--going to it might be a good use of your time.You can ask anything you want, and meet those who you will be dealing with inside the organization (and get a feel for their personalities).It actually seemed like a very pleasant workplace with satisfied employees and satisfied bosses.San Antonio is Bexar County.Good Luck! 

Where is the line drawn on normal wear and tear on items like chipped flooring, ripped screens, evidence of unapproved pets, broken hardware/fixtures? 

Intel has spent over $100 billion on new chip factories as well as Nationwide Children's Hospital spending millions of dollars on acres to expand even more.
