 " Contractor" had no license or insurance and barely spoke english .

My preference would be bare concrete.

Welfare should be a bare minimum to survive temporarily until you can pick yourself back up and get a job-- not sitting around drinking alcohol and Starbucks all day, watching cable TV on your plasma big screen TV, smoking expensive cigarettes not doing anything while living free in a fully renovated granite countertops nice home.We have a duty to support wounded veterans, the elderly, and those 100% disabled unable to function on their own or live day to day on their own.

If your property fails the swipe dust test, it will labled "Lead House" and you have to disclose it when you sell it.The city council does NOT care about the financial burden of property owners they have to bare or any other suggestions at this point.

Now, when I want something, I barely have to ask because I've been a profitable rainmaker for them.Consider thinking about the other guy first.

Now bare with me I'm just a back of the woods county guy. 

@Daria B., are you trying this on a computer or a smartphone?

The entire building is an improvement on the bare land. 

In fact, I would consider a highly leveraged portfolio of properties that barely keep up with inflation that provide a few hundred dollars per door when occupied with tenants and a poor exit strategy as a much bigger gamble.
