In this case I will gently bust out the loose plaster that is definitely a problem, while trying to preserve what I can with the rest (a bit of plaster movement is ok, but not too much).

Honestly, ive had tenants that were perpetually late in the past.

Maybe the prospect of a face to face will spur some movement.

Either way, movement up or down, is great for investors.  

Will venture capitalists settle for a fair return, or will they be expecting to buy a percentage of my company's income into perpetuity? 

So where I invest there still some volume, some movement, just not as many multifamily properties to choose from.

Keep your home clean and dry, with adequate ventilation and air movement.

The lender I used was Michelle Wahlmark with Movement mortgage.

I knew it wasn't so I had a home inspection done, the inspector called for star bolts to arrest the movement or full replacement of the brick facade.

I do see your point, that it may be cleaner to have the vendor cut the cheque directly to the contractor and still have us schedule and oversee the repair, but there is no fraud being perpetuated.
