We had to call a 24 hour plumber and restoration place.

The two are rehabbing (restoration more so in keeping with the period of the home) the house with help from contractors.

Here in SoCal I clean and restore carpet for property managers all the time with occupying tenants.

The fire restoration to 14 months so the other three had to carry the burden and we still had a small positive cash flow.

I had a fire & they paint 100% of the restoration in a prompt manner.  

Thank them for choosing your property, let them know you are glad to have them and want to keep them, then add that restoring the lawn and interior molding will be real costs for you that are not normal wear and tear, and must be paid by the tenant.

I heard that there's a large retail development planned, brand new schools, and someone put quite an investment into restoring the old mills for the Mill and Main project.

If you refinanced into a conventional loan, then your entitlement should be restored.

Again, it varies quite a bit.So if your “renovations” amount to a “restoration” you might be just fine.

We even suggested about credit restoration & offered to include it.
