Looks like where the stuff hit the fan over the asbestos popcorn texture. :)

Glad to see you here...Btw, for anyone interested in both the strategic and tactical aspects of analyzing, bidding on and buying large multi-unit properties, Sean is a great resource...as best I can tell, he spends most of his days jet-setting around the country looking at large apartment deals...  :-)

When you are wealthy, tear it off and hang drywall, tape and texture.4) Replace the appliances with fresh ones from Craig's List.5) Don't forget to tune up the curb appeal as well.

Inside you would have walls racking and sheetrock would be damaged and when that happens the best may be to redo all the texture and then repaint.

Depending on the overall style of the house, painted paneling can add a nice texture and give character to an otherwise neutral house.

And compared to Texas a 200k home can have higher tax's than a 400k in CA. so that does impact buying ability.CA home buyers by and large spend much more of their income on their house and less on cars and other non essential items than folks in any other part of the country.When you run DTI and people have 100k worth of cars a jet ski motor home etc. and living in a 150k home in Texas.

Hello Will,Look into the Brother 2200 series B&W printer $80-$100 range.Cartridges will still cost you around $50, but you'll get 2000+ pages out of one.Wet ink-jet pages = a runny mess, not so w/ laser pages, so you could do post cards.Laser color is going to cost you a lot more of course.

What is different here, is they cannot get at your personal finances, primary residence, Jet Ski, Snowmobile etc...

For paint -- right now the walls are painted in either glossy or semi-gloss paint (not an expert yet) over a heavy knockdown texture.
