I don't think you need to take a picture of each wall, but of each room and each noteworthy item that was damaged is really helpful. 

If you can hold on till first part of January the showings and everything else should pickup.This would be my action items: 1. hire a new agent that can sell the place, and get you numbers are rent and selling and sell the place. 2. be honest on the numbers you can get on an ARV so that you can sell it 3. start to get the conversation started with a couple lenders on what these numbers on refi would look like for you and this property 4. my suggestion would be to refi/rent before selling at a loss because if numbers work you can hold for a couple years then sell, but this is dependent on your cash position and liquidity of your situation. 

I'd recommend the spread on the return and your ability to replace damaged items (local vs. not local, strength of your team) be the determining factors in that decision.

You need to make sure that your property is easily financeable if you decide to sell it in the future and any future buyer can call out non-permitted items and actually report you to the building department or, at a minimum, ask for seller concessions.

So I am military, originally out of CA so it's my "home state"/residency but very easy for me to change as I am stationed out of CA and have been for a long time.I own several properties in CA and one in WA.

Costs ran significantly over on both of these items and not being in the area it was not possible for me to add my experience in renovations to lowering them. 

If you’re weighing a move.. be it a 1031 exchange in Oregon or locking in a promising rental in Phoenix.. just remember that the right local knowledge, strong relationships, and a willingness to adapt can set you up for something more than just another line item on your spreadsheet.

Those two items will vary quite a bit depending on the house.

No but if you paid for those items you could get copies of them and use them for a private lender who may be able to give you a loan.

It is just a matter of whether they broke it or not.It goes the same with all issues such as guest complaining about not being able to check in before check in time, or not able to find the item when we clearly stated where they are and sent them photo proof… I call this stacking the bullets before the battle and I tell my team you guys are sending me without weapon to fight if you don’t do this for me 😂 (I handle all the claims as I do this for my job)You are in an expensive market!
