I have some wrought iron repair I'd like to have done on the front porch at my 4-unit and the $1000 can go toward that. 

All flooring needed to be replaced, there was some foundation issues from the earthquake of 94' (Northridge quake), the bathroom was in need of a full gut and rehab new, all bedrooms needed new light fixtures, closet doors, and some electrical upgrades, plus the driveway needed to be re-surfaced and the chain-link fence removed and replaced with a more appropriate wood fencing for curb appeal.

I owned a HML company in Oakland in the late 80s  and was involved in a large ( 540 lot project in Nevada county at the same time) after the earth quake and the war prices pummeted I had loans on houses in SF that apprasied in 88 ish for 2 mil went to foreclosure sale for 900k this on Green St.

Ian Madin, who directs the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), estimates that seventy-five per cent of all structures in the state are not designed to withstand a major Cascadia quake. 

right after the big quake and the first gulf war.. prices dropped 50% in higher end peninsula props.
