I can show you our Onslow county oceanfront place (if you bring a paint brush;) and give you a tour of our 45+ rentals in Wake county.

Brushing off a couple inches of snow was fine, but I hated digging out from a plow pile, pushing a foot of snow off the roof, or scraping icy windows.

If the tenants are worried about cold feet, they can get an area rug.Carpet is little more than a lint brush attached to your floor. ;-)

If you are ripping it out and there are any studs with a bit of mold you can wire brush them down up to 1/16th of an inch (use a drill where you can), spray with clove oil diluted in orange oil (citrosolve), let dry 24 hours and then paint studs with Zinsser BIN primer/sealer or another shellac sealer.

Went around to the front door, fought through the trees, brush, and thorns to knock on that one; no answer.

Look up MAO here on BP and brush up on the math if you're not sure what a good deal is yet.

@Perry Ivy: almost anything is better than carpet - which is just a big lint brush on your floor.

I only know Waterbury in a broad-brush way but would caution you not to be star-struck by the prices.

He *might* be handy with a leaf blower or paint brush.  

Now I'll have to pay for brush removal.
