The current patio and walkways around the house are all concrete, but look a little rough and are all mismatched, so I'd like to replace them.I want it to look nice since I'm spending a lot of money ($100k) renovating the rest of the house, but I also know tenants with kids can absolutely destroy pavers with their bikes and toys -- so I'm a little torn.Should I install pavers or just use concrete for the patio and walkway?

Now that there's been no movement, take it off the market and put it back on in March (or mid-Feb if you need to).  Yes

I've been toying with the idea of asking for a higher split of the commission.

Anyway, I'll probably haul the debris to the street for them because I don't want to deal with her and it's the neighborly thing to do.

We have a placard in the home with the company and the toys they rent. 

You are either in it for the very long haul and ride the market waves or you pivot and switch asset classes along the way. 

Just ask the people that owned a Block Buster or Toys r Us in a bad to fair location.

Does it have the ability to: Yes. 

We're currently done with demo and are hauling in fill dirt for the pad.Thanks for the diary.

If you are in it for the long haul (10+ years), then buy and hold house hacking could still work as everything tends to average out with up and down markets over a long term hold.
