The "dish" in the corner of the living room is even more obvious, as is the condition of the tile.

Oh, one little tip if you do decide to re-tile a surround: in rentals, I do not install a soap dish on the long wall...instead I install on the wet wall (where the faucet is).

Oregon seems to be in the candy dish side of GC.

@Jon HoldmanI appreciate the kick in the as*, this made me realize I should factor a larger portion of my proceeds to the "UN-expected".I have to agree, some years you do have it great and some you dish out a TON of money.

After meeting several neighbors around my new property, I wanted a way to capture names, addresses, phone numbers and some notes about the people.To do that, I did a screen capture in Google Maps after zooming in on the property (in Map view not satellite).

How do you deal with the chance of tenants letting all of their friends come over and shower and do their dishes?
