We had to take the entire end of the house back to the studs (even the insulation smelled of smoke); prime and seal all of the framing and cladding (employing a primer used by fire restoration contractors)  and rebuild.

Once this happens, it may take them a long time to rebuild credit.  

So, she could have had terrible credit until 2002, then filed bankruptcy, and 10 years later, gets a credit card to start rebuilding credit.  

I pulled a few flyers they were 60 to 80k...these  homes are functionally obsolete it cost to much to repair them and they are worth two little for gods sakes a most of them I saw would be 400 to 600k to rebuild and yet you can buy as many as you want for under 100k... there is no turning that stuff arouind

When it fails to a certain degree, you have to rebuild the field and maybe the tank. 

I'm Demoing and rebuilding my kitchen, took out some walls, re-wiring and plumbing. 

They have been refusing my phone calls and attempts to meet me at the condo.The Mold inspector told me about the possible court suing and their possible court action.They won't share the report but the inspector says he is recommended that all the kitchen counters are gutted and rebuild the cabinetsBathroom vanities need to be redone etc.The AC closet needs to be broken and rebuilt .

Each time I deducted $500-$600 from their deposit to rebuild the yard.  --- Do you really want to install these items in your rental home yard, such as a garden?

.$200 isnt completely out of line for a repair job if there was more than resetting the toilet which I'd guess there was.I've made it a habit on any new property to hire a plumber to pull the toilets and replace wax rings with these from home depot or new wax rings on the rare occasion what I posted wont work (depends on floor height) -- if the toilets are old enough and I dont want to rebuild the guts I'll just replace them with models from Menards -- I really like Pro Flows from Ferguson supply, however I dont have the buying power my buddy does at his plumbing business so I cant justify spending twice the price there.  

There might be a chance of getting some government funding for the interior rebuild if its designated low income senior housing.
