So it seems like a rehab might be on the cards.I've been listening to podcasts, trying to read in my spare time, and started going to REI meetings. 

To me, it wasn't worth the risk of having spare money in investments, as the market could just as easily move down. 

Recent property same size 1600sqft just sold for $220k, and this property I'm selling is the same size and has a large spare office that can be converted to 1 or 2 bedrooms to add value, plus the kitchen isn't to big, which can be enlarged for cheap as the market doesn't require brand new kitchen cabinets.

Ten critical mistakes and 13 months later, I was able to sell the property and be spared a slower death.

Btw, since I had a minute to spare, I just called the first landscaping business I found on Yelp in the Mountain View area, "Total Landscape."

I'd love to connect with you once you're settled in and have some spare time.

I've spent a couple of weeks of "spare time" just patching and painting walls, ceiling trim in a single room before, and making it look spectacular.

But 1 or 2 spare pumps so you have them ready in case of a failure 

A part of this consideration will be your budget and what you like to do in spare time.

From what I've gathered speaking to the housing authority my options in raising rent or removing tenants, even if month to month, are extremely limited and nearly scary.Any local landlords knowledgeable about section 8 tenants who could spare maybe 5 minutes for a few questions?
