GC had an awesome find, a kid who'd worked as tile pro's helper for years and was meticulous, but too slow and paid by the hour, so unknown to me, he fired him and hired the all time hack crew in history!

If you have a large to show as collateral lenders will be slobbering to get your accounts. 100 ways to skin a baseball (just kidding), 100 ways to make money in real estate.

I trusted them the most, I guess, with a driveway that I expect to have years to come and that my kids will enjoy playing on.I will message you with a value based contractor who I know does driveways.  

I previously rented to a family with 5 kids.

Good possibility of a "play area" for kids or picnic area for adults with little expense to add this feature.I went through the financials and it doesn't look fantastic as it's being run now. 

This year I've included birthday cards for the adults and kids (because what 8 year old doesn't like to get mail?!?).

If it's totally their fault, I'd find out what happened before deciding to fix it now or wait as if it's likely to happen again in the same place, like their kid leans back in kitchen chairs and falls into the wall right there, no sense in fixing it now just to have him damage it again next week.     

Thanks for the call out, it's storming here in Indy, the kids and wife are resting, so a perfect time to BP.

I have had similar issues with tenants only to find out that the literally leave their front door open for short periods of time, kids running in and out.As a Florida resident we have to deal with 100 degree temperatures and 100% humidity on a regular basis.
