So rental upside is not super huge.Please be gentle.

Thoughts please....again be gentle newbie...Thanks

The DEA was not gentle in it's search, breaking doors, damaging ceilings and drywall.

This will ensure that errant mold spores do not migrate from the containment area into surrounding areas.)Will you repair the source of the moisture or do I need to call another contractor?

A couple minutes gently trying to lift one will tell the story.

En Suite laundry also tends to be used more gently and maintained better than those in a common laundry room.3) We have been able to command a slightly higher rent ($25 - $50 / month) for en suite laundry.  

., painting over brick is not really maintenance friendly, as moisture (winter) will tend to push the paint away from the brick, even with a good paint, not to mention if your painter only knows how to spread it and doesn't know which primer to choose. 

That definitely eliminates the possibility of wood rotting etc due to moisture in the future...  

All that hot air and moisture running through the pipe for years is bound to do some damage.

Both are very sweet, gentle giants and neither are destructive.
