It's arbitrary, capricious and detrimental to your business interests and the right of the tenant to be treated in a fair, consistent manner.If you take the cotton out of your ears and put it into your mouth you can learn something here.

Cotton..hate to burst your bubble, but that's not realistic in this texture of market. 

Lincoln Schools extend to the East but there is a bad-ish area here (Bianchi east of Pacific; Cotton Ct, etc.)North of town, east of Pacific (east of Lincoln Village): 95207; reasonably good rental area (Stockton Unified rather than Lincoln) houses from 2/1 through 4/2; apartments, some duplexes up to fourplexes. 

It makes it very easy to find customers even with bad support.I am leaning towards going with the click plank option as I was told, that when it clicks together it adds another substrate or "floor" basically and that with the attached underlayment does a pretty good job of reducing noise.I looked at adding gypsum concrete (gypcrete), self leveling cementitious subfloors, wool insulation under the plywood, and another type of cement type floor, but they all have their pros and cons and doesn't seem to be worth the extra money in the end. 

For colors we use Behr spun wool (LRV 73) for walls and Behr ultra white for trim (LRV 94) we have found the Behr ceiling paint provides better coverage on ceilings than most other brands we've used.

Quote from @Michael Cotton: I'm a new investor looking to get into the world of tax lien and tax deed investing in Maryland.

I spent a month there cleaning it up and lifting heavy furniture, drywall, wool insulation, etc...

Actually, I spent a month there cleaning it out and spent $4,200 on dumpsters tossing drywall and wool ceiling insulation.

(But perhaps not in as cotton-cushioned locations).Remember, your TENANTS are still paying off your investment mortgages for you, whether your own other income soars or nor not.
