I purchase all my properties under my business SMART in E.Z Restoration Inc.

Just removing all these down trees and restoring power is going to take some time.Free firewood, come cut and take all you want.

The new requirements will apply to tenancies starting on or after July 1, 2025, with pre- and post-repair photos required by April 1, 2025.This law also clarifies that landlords can only deduct professional cleaning costs if needed to restore the property to its original state.

I also chose to hire a contractor who specialized in insurance restorations.

I am debating whether I want to restore the door to what it was, (I wanted to list this home for sale and I will surely get dinged on this on the inspection in terms of wear even if it is bonded and white).

Whether you want to buy a 2-4 unit place where you live in 1 unit and rent out the rest or do something like a live in flip (where you fix up a house over the course of 2-3 years, move out and sell it to capture a tax free profit), it will mitigate your risk because it is where you live. 

Nothing was completely destroyed, just in need of restoration which has begun on all units.Still nothing like what I am seeing in WNC / ETN - Hope everyone there is ok.

This is because the purpose of insurance is to restore the property to its pre-damaged condition.

If they wanted to pay for the updates and agreed to restore the property to its original condition (if you wanted them to) after they left, you would need to allow it. 

That may cause you some restoration work if it is going through a finished basement.
