Investors in my area capitalize on dog friendly and it isn't cheap to own a dog and rent.Cedar fencing is a NW thing.. they use pine in the deep south east.. and fences get destroyed quickly by the sun and moisture etc.

He fears there could be a wet basement but Im not seeing signs of moisture in the pics.

Structural work is the most concern, basement units floor angles in, bowing walls, underneath the house looks to have a lot of moisture.

I am worried that he will try to sabotage my appraisal if he is in the property and I really need to fix the issue of moisture ASAP. 

There are several areas of moisture damaged wood on the exterior siding/trim that need to be repaired/replaced.

The other issue is that too much moisture in your heating vents can promote mold/mildew growth. 

Afterwards, I will encapsulate the floor to block moisture.

This is my first post so be gentle.

Also, be very careful in reading the language of the fine prints in the coverage and exceptions.I am in Florida and I know my policy does not cover the "repair" of pipe leaks but does cover damages caused by sudden and unexpected leaks.So if a leak happens underground below your slab, the cost to remove the tiles/carpet/wood flooring, breaking up the slab, tearing up the baseboard, excavating to the location of breakage, are all covered, then the actual repair, which might be a $300 simple job, NOT covered, then to lay down a bed of gravel, refill, compaction, termicide application, moisture barrier, repour concrete and reinforcement, new flooring, new baseboards, painting etc...are again covered.

That is rule one for the lazy land lord buy small houses it means less work overall,So on to painting If you talk to any experienced old school painter they will tell you that you need to cut in. which is making a border around the ceilings and base boards.this is a very very important step for the lazy land lord because doing this step properly will allow you to use the roller much easier and quickly so you can get home to your couch and the game. but more important it will prevent you from getting paint on the ceilings which will need to be brushed in later brushing in paint on the ceiling is time consuming and tedious so avoiding paint on the ceiling is the lazy landlords first priorityMany old school painters will tell you to get a good cut in brush. but if you are not familiar with painting the cut in brush can take quite a bit of time, to get efficiently good results my solution buy a paint kit that comes with a cut in tool it should look like a rectangular plastic thing a ma jig that has little wheels on one sidethis device allows you to quickly do the border in record time.The secret I found to using this tool is to gently place it on top of your paint so it floats on the surface for about 2 seconds you dont want the wheels getting paint on themjust the applicator I didnt use the pole attachment I think the hand allows more control and gets you up close to the work.
