It's reassuring to see Airbnb take proactive measures to enhance the user experience.

Because at this point in time myself and my lobbyist are drafting legislation to protect Hoosiers from any further moratoriums as well as trying to create a marketing campaign to enhance and EDUCATE the public of HOUSING PROVIDERS and the reality of the nature of our businesses.

Have the AC checked out and rehabbed if needed.Ask her if she wants new living room and bedroom carpet, if so, apartment tan.Paint the walls inside if she would like that.Take her drapes down and take them to the cleaners for a spruce up.Redo the exterior paint to a modern color, and keep an eye on the roof.Have the yard spruced up if it needs it, plantings cut back, trees trimmed.Since she is a friend of the family, I say make it nicer place for her, since she was so nice to you.I would probably leave the kitchen alone, other than a new vinyl floor.And swapping out the bathtub for a walk in shower might be a lifestyle enhancement for her (with ADA grab bars).Of course you don't "Have" to do any of this.

While you're at it, install some of those coin operated massage mattresses?   

Here's the larger issue that concerns me:That landlords will increasingly become targets-of-opportunity for municipal revenue enhancement, especially owners of MF units (as Bill said: "deep pockets, one vote, no brainer!").

This spring we will be testing some enhanced logic around moisture sensing and monitoring the duty cycle of the sump pump(s) at two of our properties.

Especially hard costs, such as insurance, repairs, maintenance, and enhancement numbers.

Did you make any enhancements to your process/code since then?

If you place long term debt and buy right then you can hold the asset through a down cycle for the next up cycle if needed.Where I see a lot of issues is people paying low caps and using short term 3 to 5 year loans from banks to massage the debt to eek out a little cash flow.The people doing those kinds of things can get into big trouble.

My contractor placed the tile with one corner first and allowed it to gently drop into place moving it back and forth gently massaging it into place.both methods work let me wrap this up. if you are laying a long flooring tile . you will sometimes find that the tile may rock when putting it down meaning one side is too high the other side is too low. my solution was to add thinset to the low side this sometimes made the tile uneven with the adjacent tile. my contractors solution was to cut the tile at that point of the rocking. so that now two pieces of were  on either side of the high point. this method proved effective although shortening the tile considerably. so this is a method to be used sparingly and only when necessary. all in all my floor came out very good both the floors my contractor did and the flooring i did. there are more tips but I see this is becoming way too long to sit and read.
