Keen intuition and observation skills.14 years as "Accessibility Services Manager" at a major medical center, providing accommodations for people with disabilities and language/cultural support services.

IMO This is not meant to be critical of anyone, just a factors observed.

Interesting observations.  

It just like flying you sit and observe George ( name of auto pilot) make sure he is acting nice.

Odd observation, but generally holds true, so I would expect that BP, would not vary much.....75-80% (Our guess) but 90% might be accurate.I learned to appreciate those folks over time..Many times, We sold the items right there to folks that were at the same sale for a small mark-up (Or a larger one)???

There is a reason you don't hire amateurs - they don't have the needed skills.Good luck with your tenant painting, if you allow it to happen.Tenant paint job photos:And the pictures of the paint spattered floors aren't necessary once you observe the above ...So go ahead and let your tenants paint if you think a paint job such as is pictured is what you want ;)

Here are the things I am observing.
