They are thicker and very good quality.

You're also going to need to repair/replace gel coat and carpet every few years.Aramark runs the concessions at Lake Powell, Lake Mead, etc.  

We believe it's a scam because he claimed $1,500 in clothes stolen, among them a $1,000 mink coat, and he's not the type to wear mink coats.Later on, had another tenant, and by then I required renters insurance.

You could hold the property but could only take up to 75% LTV from lenders versus 1031 you can take all equity to buy something else.I won't sugar coat it 1031's are hard to do.

It's a bit overwhelming though; my list of tasks includes:Setting up billing for water, trash, electric, gas;Cleaning up the gutters and the yard;A fresh coat of paint and re-staining the hard wood floors;Sanding and painting the deck and railings;buying a new washer/dryer andFiguring out how to approach the tenant about a rent increase.Anyways, I know it will be a positive learning experience and hopefully be the beginning of a successful real estate investment career! 

We put down several layers of Kilz and two coats of paint before the carpet install, then I painted the cabinets inside AND outside!

I won't even touch a wall with a brush or roller anymore in the final coats.

ok that was the plan, but I just meant likemail will I have to skim coat the whole house? 

Their idea of "fixing" this ended up being a fresh coat of paint to hide the rot.
