My wife did but thought it was wood rot from water damage.

I remember when I went to the airshow as a kid the signs on the rope around the F117 said do not cross line, violators will be shot on sight.

It's hard to believe people invest these sums of money to these types of individuals.In my neck of the woods everyone scrutinizes every cent of a possible purchase or investment so I can't relate.Glad they can no longer misrepresent and take advantage of others.

Just because one idiot trashes the place after a very short time doesn't mean the next guy should get a half-a$$ed ready home.I've only had one tenancy that lasted less than a year (knock on wood) and that was due to an eviction.

Maintenance/Repairs i am not sure about yet, my other one has been fully rented since purchasing and my maintenance and repairs have been zero (knock on wood).

This will also helps in my neck of the woods since buyers and agents are a bit scarce at times...

For a typical old school double Hung wood window, you can install an alum jamb liner that has compression springs to hold the sashes in place.

It's that time of year in our neck of the woods too.

i used some marine boat quality epoxy putty to patch a hole in the bottom of a bathtub...hasn't leaked in over a year (knock on wood)...cost me 5 bucks at lowe's...i've also used the real good silicone that is approved for fish tanks to plug small holes and cracks in toilet tanks and in cast iron main sewer lines..not the best fix, but it's good in a pinch until the apartment is vacant and i can go in and remodel the place :)

Cabinets are made out of wood and i'm assuming that it can be restored with some professional work.
