We are lobbying for legislation within the state of Indiana - but I'd be happy to collaborate or share what we're doing if you want to do something similar in NC?  

Have the AC checked out and rehabbed if needed.Ask her if she wants new living room and bedroom carpet, if so, apartment tan.Paint the walls inside if she would like that.Take her drapes down and take them to the cleaners for a spruce up.Redo the exterior paint to a modern color, and keep an eye on the roof.Have the yard spruced up if it needs it, plantings cut back, trees trimmed.Since she is a friend of the family, I say make it nicer place for her, since she was so nice to you.I would probably leave the kitchen alone, other than a new vinyl floor.And swapping out the bathtub for a walk in shower might be a lifestyle enhancement for her (with ADA grab bars).Of course you don't "Have" to do any of this.

If you believe in collaboration over competition, I’d love to connect with you! 

You should be able to collaborate with your separate entities.

I am Antony Munoz, a real estate investor from Oregon looking to connect and collaborate with wholesalers, subto students and agents operating in Oregon, Utah, Florida , Nevada, Georgia and Colorado!

Collaborating with a real estate agent or a professional experienced in handling complex real estate transactions can help navigate this process.Hope this helps.

Here's the larger issue that concerns me:That landlords will increasingly become targets-of-opportunity for municipal revenue enhancement, especially owners of MF units (as Bill said: "deep pockets, one vote, no brainer!").

This spring we will be testing some enhanced logic around moisture sensing and monitoring the duty cycle of the sump pump(s) at two of our properties.

Especially hard costs, such as insurance, repairs, maintenance, and enhancement numbers.

Did you make any enhancements to your process/code since then?
