Based on all this I decided I would be better off terminating this lease, doing some repainting/light work to the apartment and trying to get a new tenant that I can screen in the apartment. 

Hello all, I am just getting into the wholesaling game, and had some questions that hopefully some will be able to shed a little light on.

I've paid 4 contractors to install light switches in the kitchen ... and the dang light switches still didn't come out how I spec'd them to EACH one on paper. 

you can use a heat treatment but the best seems to be a ultraviolet light disinfectorit kills everything and that way you are not using chemicals or have any missesthese units you can rent they are not cheap but it does the job and it saves you from the exterminator feesthey are called true d uvthey use them in health care and hospitalsenjoy

The client is upset because they feel that the plumber, as a professional, should have known this would be a possibility, and warned them, while the plumber feels they have done exactly what they were hired to do. 

But it also warned me of how detrimental they can be without the proper guidance.You may wish to speak to a CPA in your area that specializes in Real Estate.

I am also interested to see if the Link Light Rail extension will actually happen.

Thank you for your warnings and Im surprised by your responses.I have friends who have recently bought condos in Tampa in C class area getting 10% cap.

Once the kids are completely out of daycare, the light gets much brighter :).

Minor, mostly cosmetic stuff, maybe appliances, paint, carpet, hardware, light fixtures.
