I have a new tenant asking of I am ok with them putting a basketball hoop on the concrete patio in front of the garage.

Maybe if the contractors put down plywood or plastic so no dirt or tread marks would take place or whatever.

Cameras that look like real cameras but are really just plastic inside and have a wire that you tuck inside the siding to make it look real.

This kitchen appears to not have any windows except for the patio door. 

Cost of furnishings - luckily in our market the majority of properties come fully turnkey meaning, I write my contracts like so: Personal Property included with the sale, any furniture, décor, lamps, kitchen and household wares, linens, electronics, appliances, all patio and deck furniture, fire pits, hot tubs, rugs, currently located at the residence at no additional value.  

The HOA could ask you to redo your flooring if it doesnt pass the sound test. 4th, you have to cover up the common area with plastic wraps during the construction hour.

The one caveat I'll throw out there is that Schlage puts a sticker on the lock underneath the plastic casing (which is real easy to remove). 

Once you have a chance to give it a good crawl through, let me know things such as:1) Foundation (rubble, brick, block, poured, encased rubble, etc)2) Framing - ballooned framed, western platform or something else3) Wall section:Cladding - brink veneer, clapboard, shakes, masonite, vinyl, multiple layers, etc;Outer sheeting - plank (square milled or live edged); plywood; OSB; hardboard;Insulation - None, R5 paper-backed rock wool; R5 - R8 fibreglass; blown; UFFI; etcWindstop - is there a layer of lath-and-plaster in the wall cavities;Vapour barrier - is there one, is it paper or plastic.  

I did prep it as you would cement, I made forms covered with plastic so it would not stick to the forms and I C clamped them in place to create a smooth surface under the counter.

I agree that newer appliances are using cheaper parts for sure - more plastics than metal - but basic appliances by name brand companies without frills are still ridiculously reliable.
