If you ask it of ALL prospective renters, then no foul.

Yet, areas of Tacoma will continue to battle of crime, vandalism and homeless.

Things take much longer to develop than people think.Typically when you see big apartment buildings go up it is a 3 to 5 year process.It might only be a few years from the time the public hears about it but before that years of legwork went into getting to that point.I couldn't say if right now was the right time to build.Everything is project specific.If the city will let you use a class C finish rather than a class A the numbers will save you money.Just to give a for instance some cities will demand a traffic light be put in for some projects.The traffic light parts itself are not that expensive but with the fiber optic hookup and underground cabling you are talking hundreds of thousands just for that one item.Typically on larger projects it's a fight for the developer to make profit.They propose a certain density and drawing.The county or city then wants to reduce the density and add in all these road improvements and lights at the cost of the developer.All the costs have to work for both parties to get a deal done.I have seen some projects take 2 years to get approved from submitting after going back and forth with revisions and tabling until the next meeting.So half the battle is the cost and financing available when you break ground and the other is the political junk.How much total land would you be getting??

The key is to get most of it right and have a contingency clause in yoru offer (inspection period) If you uncover some major item missed in your initial walkthrough, you can back out or re-negotiate, no harm, no foul.

Additionally, there might a be a little bit of a battle in the background with the first and second lenders.

The market place has started to turn but its certainly going to be a slow battle for it to recover when in our global environment we are fighting the world for good jobs.

As I walk in the front door I am hit with a pungent odor that I can't quite put my finger on.After a couple minutes of talking to one of the tenants I realize it is the smell of fresh game (love me some deer steak).

first clean it to get rid of dog pee smell,  cut weeds, water what is left of flower garden. 

@Troy FisherNo harm, no foul...BTW: If you want Rob Ford, I hear he's looking for a new gig ;-)

We are in the process if rehabbing a building and I keep smelling pot from the neighbors in a separate building.
