I took money out of my pocket and basically put it in my tenants because I was soft.

I had discussed the situation with others outside of this forum, and they had said that I was being too understanding / soft; I had decided on a tougher approach, which is why I put things the way I did in my original post here.

Just an idea...But then, I'm way to soft to be my own PM. 

If that is soft, sandy or constantly wet then the foundation could have settled.

And I guess that's the common feeling as I've seen zero softness in the market. 

You will have to work on your soft skills and working past being introverted when it comes to dealing with people.

When it gets soft, simply wipe it off.If it is joint compound for plumbing, again, it should just wipe off.The silver roof sealer, I'd contact the manufacturer before I tried anything.

One beds change over quickly unless it's a senior,etc.Older people tend to stay and not want to move as they get older.I would investigate and make sure the current landlord hasn't gone soft with the tenants.When buildings get paid off the landlord tends to let things slide with upkeep and paying rent on time to not deal with the headache.The landlord isn't as pressed when the bank isn't breathing down their neck for that monthly debt service payment.No way I would owner finance 100%.

Also, I personally like nice soft carpet in a bedroom.

They seemed to be praying softly, in unison.
