It reminds me of the landlord next to one of my properties, I see him out there once and a while pickign through the tenants trash, gloves and face mask on, opening trash bag after bag, pickign out the various cans and recyclables, so proud of himself and all the $ "those tenants are just throwing away".

Find houses with dented garage doors, peeling paint, lots of newspapers piled in the driveway, or even tall grass.

The downside to shower inserts is that they look cheap fairly quickly - the caulking yellows and they can peel away from the wall when water gets behind it (water will get behind it)At the end of the day, either option is good but I always push to do the tile.

There are some decent paints now that will work on vinyl (they won't peel or crack). 

You see a neglected yard, bad roof, peeling paint, etc. you make a note and follow up.

I hear advertising for it, would it be easier than peeling/sticking on stamps?

Its like ripping off a band-aid as opposed to peeling it off slowly.

The deck was not stained and sealed, but the husband attempted to do it on the steps with a product other than what we left for him to use - it was smeared on, gooped up and peeling - a complete mess.

Average costs have been about $800/month (I don't expect that this would continue, as this includes a complete AC and ducting install and retiling of the bathroom that was peeling).What would you guys do with the home?
