You can get a color match for the paint there and maybe get away with painting only that small wall.It's hard to tell from the pics if there is a need for whole house painting.

My insurance company determined that they were not responsible because the problem originated it form INSIDE the wall which was the responsibility of the condo association.

If you talk to someone like the folks at Wren Insurance Agency (from what I read in the Wall Street Journal), you’ll find they’ve been adapting to the shifting market conditions with some interesting coverage options.

I don't think it'll be 25K unless the wall is coming in a decent amount. 

While its frustrating as you were told something different, it does not overwrite existing lawsI live in a street that has an easement for the first 15 ft of driveway and we have had several neighbords put in gated entry and brick walls which is in the easement.

And natural wood interior walls for that cabin feel.. can you post a link to what you recommend a  cabin should look like I am just curious . 

By the way, from what I read in the Wall Street Journal, there’s a growing number of niche investors cropping up who love grabbing assignments that fly under the mainstream radar, especially if you’re bringing something fresh to the table like a distressed duplex they can reposition, or a small portfolio of row homes they can turn into long-term rentals.
