., I would contact Animal Control in your city and explain the situation.

@James PostNYC (Manhattan, especially) is definitely a different animal than the markets than most BP articles/advice focus on.

If there is contamination, thats a whole other animal.

With two coats, the coverage is great and I'm very pleased with the results.

Very different animals in analysis and due diligence.

A roofer will come out soon to give me an estimate on both a composition shingle and a stone coated steel roof.

I've painted paneling that need one coat of primer then one coat of paint and I've done other paneling that needed 3-4 coats in all.In our area it's usually not just drywall under it, it's usually plaster and lath and if you pull it off you will probably find an area of the wall that the plaster is falling apart and the paneling was slapped up to cover it up.

I looked this morning at a 3/2, built in 2005, that rents for 8-850, needs just a coat of paint inside, listed for 65k, and I decided while it was an ok deal my cap rate, cashflow, and COC are all better on the few duplexes I'm considering.

It is correct that there is no place to include a deadline on the submittals, and if you pressure the listing agent and some snags come up (repairs, etc) then they may be less willing to go to bat to help you.Buying an REO is a different animal, and deals can be had, but you need to submit your highest and best off the bat, and if its a good deal, ASAP!

pressure wash to get all the dirt off....then do a solid coat of kilz (it's a primer that the brick will soak in so the paint sticks).
