Hey @Chi Lo - I actually have a video on my YouTube page about this (lookup ClosedByMo on YouTube).Regarding walls being damp and waterproofed, it means there needs to be waterproofing on the basement retainer walls (this is something you can do post-construction and the contractors would need to dig around the house exposing the basement/foundation to apply the waterproofing). 

Burlap on the wall, postage stamp rug for a large living room, hodgepodge of items around the house with no real theme.

While I’m still in the early stages, I’m incredibly motivated to learn, grow, and surround myself with like-minded individuals who can help guide me along the way.What drew me to real estate is that I saw it as the best route for me and family to have financial freedom.

I like to attend all the local ( am meeting )It also helps with networking as I've met some incredible people at the local meeting.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on striking the right balance between being thorough and adhering to fair housing practices.Thanks again for starting this conversation—it’s incredibly valuable to learn from experienced property managers like you!

I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas, and continue learning from this incredible community.

It’s a 2/1 750 sf house built in the 1920s with  a concrete wall foundation and partial basement.   

It tends to hide marks better.Walls: Neutral tones like SW Repose Gray, Behr Swiss Coffee, or Moore Classic Gray are renter-friendly and modern.Trim and Doors: Use a crisp white like SW Extra White or Moore Chantilly Lace.Accent Walls: For a touch of style, consider an accent wall in soft blue-gray. 

In our student houses we use a programmable thermostat, but our building monitoring system has its own sensors and can override the wall thermostat and will not allow the temperature to get below 10C (50F) ... we are presently testing a new software load that will also prevent them from cooling the house too far in the summer.

The inspector missed improper deck flashing and studs missing (not like they weren't installed, they are half gone from rot) in an exposed basement wall and now they're paying a few grand to fix it.
