IMO your options are: 1) leave it and paint (I like the spray,spray, spray idea) 2) Strap it (1x4 screwed perpendicular to the framing) and new drywall, tape, texture?

Single Wraps Metal connectors consisting of a single strap that wraps over the top of the truss/rafter and is secured with a minimum of 2 nails on the front side and a minimum of 1 nail on the opposing side5. 

Doesn’t matter if you strap a jet engine on it.

We will have a wave of tenants who are financially strapped. 

After talking with my best man(mortgage banker) about buying a house I quickly realize that I don't qualify for much of a home loan about 180k, and even if I find one id be strapped  to make the note, and would be stuck in it for a long time before i could ever get out of it and on to a nicer house.Found BIGGERPOCKETS.COM and became a pro member, read more books, listened to every single podcast, learned more about real estate and investing in a few months then I ever imagined, looked at every property on the local MLS, analysed tons of properties and found a decent idea on what we needed to find........ now onto the successI took that 5k and wrote an earnest check for a sfr that was converted into a duplex that had been on the market for over a year, tons of new upgrades, but neither unit was livable or close to finished. 

@Mark Lange Also be sure to check out the BiggerPockets Podcast: Show 21It's all about wholesaling, you'll learn a ton.Training with JJ is awesome, sometimes we have over 10 black belts on the mats in a normal class.

C class areas in Birmingham are largely section 8 rentals.I would also be more selective when purchasing a house in Fairfield, the city is very financially strapped, the city services are subpar as well.

From the ceramic tile factory, to the rubber mats for cars factory, to the tress factory to the chicken processing plant to any fast food place or store to the hospitals and care centers, they are all hiring!
