You shouldn't put other siding over it as you'd have to "disturb" it to drive the nails/screws but you can paint it like normal.

The end product looks very polished. 

No tips from me, the experts above nailed it. :)  Just hello, and hope to see you around.

Working while tenants are present is aliability waiting to happen, if they step on a nail or break a leg because there is a 2x4 laying around, they're not going to sue themselves for negligence.

It's great how the experts are nailing it.Also, BiggerPockets is based on Denver, so I really think there are a lot of investors there. :) Be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into local conversations.Glad to have you here Jennifer!

Only thing I have a problem with is that he may have not been polished enough to know his numbers and repair costs along with the prices other investors are willing to pay in certain locations. 

So my friend decide to take care of Otis, polished his box and put it near the door as a door stop.

@Adam BartomeoYou've totally hit the nail on the head.

You have to nail it with sold's on these properties because a different level or story and being ocean front versus side has a huge value to it.You have had 20 showings and not offers.

So next up is really nailing down the cost of the wood floors (no pun intended) and trying to cut our holding period way down.Thank you so much for helping us think through this one!
