@Eddie Garcia  The way to preserve your repuation is the zeal, honesty, and trust you build with everyone you meet.

Is it speculation, or is it preservation...?

The 3 Day preserves your right to move forward.

A group of vocal critics began mounting an effort to save the park in the name of preserving green space downtown.But supporters of the concept pointed to the clear benefits of bringing new residents downtown and furthering the cause for revitalization there.

Ironically, the building was nearing demo as we intended to construct a multi-family until the historic preservation board became aware. 

The hope is to sell the home before the foreclosure is final, preserving some equity for the owner or at least avoiding a foreclosure on their record.

The State Historic Preservation Offices and the National Park Service review the rehabilitation work to ensure that it complies with the Secretary’s Standards for Rehabilitation.

I really want to preserve my "super host" status if all possible - but enforcing our house rules is more important to me that my status. 

Some things add value to a home (kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, new deck, etc), while other improvements preserve your value from being discounted (new roof, HVAC, water heater, etc).

Refinish what you have - flipping this property, you are going to be looking for a specific type of buyer and you will not recover the cost of residing it in a way that preserves the architectural interest of the property.
