I also got an estimate from a masonary guy to fill in all the brick work and than give it a second coat of mortar over the whole brick in the whole house, interior and exterior for $4100.

First, I'd tell them that the job offered is to skim coat the existing and repair it.

I just used tape and joint compound on paneling on a old rental I have , It was 1 wall about 12 ft , I taped the seams and skim coated the paneling , it looks OK , I wasnt going for great , just Ok .

They don't always do things the absolute best way for protecting themselves IMO, but she'll never have an issue with me and that would be true no matter who I rented from.She also knows I own property and as such I understand the pain of turnover expenses which is why she will get my unit back with a fresh coat of touchup paint if needed and the carpets cleaned on my way out the door.

Clean them asap, maybe a fresh coat of paint and rent them to better tenants.

I've seen people do various types of rubber coatings, and even truck bed liner material, but have had the impression that these are temporary measures to buy a year or two before more definitive action is taken.Has anyone found a cheaper but not shoddy way of repairing box gutters?

Never did it professionally though nor did I wear a white coat.

I think you need several light coats of mud to do it right.

I think it will boost up your credibility because you're not sugar coating problems the seller may know about.I think you should approach the seller and tell them that is find but that you would like to be there as well.

If they complain hardwood is cold in the winter tell them to get an area rug.3) Fresh coat of paint and you are rent ready.
