The probate campaign (where I'm only going to mail the more clear cut cases, i.e. no attorney as petitioner because I just don't know what the heck is going on there), and I'm digging through the Milwaukee in rem foreclosures to find the best prospects who I will either mail, door knock, and call (probably a combination). 

But if you apply your $15k now, you should be able to knock out that other $15k pretty quickly don't you think? 

I am in the middle of a rehab and a deal comes knocking on the door. 

- at what point do I say this just isn't worth it...knock it down!

Mail a yellow letter or go knock on the door

This seems as if this is a bump that may have knocked you down and you are choosing to get back up.

I'm in between tenants and need to unexpectedly replace a 25' x 8' section of drywall, but just don't have the time to knock it out myself. 

When it comes down to it, as @Andrew Michael suggested, nothing beats school of hard knocks and testing different methods to see what really works for you. 

(2) Impact surfaces are required to be treated only if: (i) Paint on an impact surface is damaged or otherwise deteriorated; (ii) The damaged paint is caused by impact from a related building component (such as a door knob that knocks into a wall, or a door that knocks against its door frame); and (iii) Lead-based paint is known or presumed to be present on the impact surface.(3) Examples of building components that may contain friction or impact surfaces include the following: (i) Window systems; (ii) Doors; (iii) Stair treads and risers; (iv) Baseboards; (v) Drawers and cabinets; and (vi) Porches, decks, interior floors, and any other painted surfaces that are abraded, rubbed, or impacted.(4) Interim control treatments for friction surfaces shall eliminate friction points or treat the friction surface so that paint is not subject to abrasion.

If this is the case, the property I'm looking at can be knocked down to build an 8 family complex, making this worthwhile to pursue.
