But of course that might be a function of my local market.  

Second post Duane so I'm not 100% sure how to use forum functions lol sorry.

In short, no matter which paint you use, developing a Zen countenance with speed and precision, using quality tools (and matching the right ones to the job) and planning on doing two coats unless you're just refreshing  the colour (tinting a primer for one of those coats can be very multi-functional, saving you from spot priming as well as saving you money) is probably your best goal for d.i.y. success.  

The province may finally have clued in to the fact that a healthy and functioning market for rental housing is vital for giving people decent homes to live in.

I hope that the information on the site is helpful to you, as I have no knowledge of your market or how it functions.

As a property manager myself that is one of the main functions of our job.

It has some functionality in producing plans and elevations, but doesn't come close to revit or CAD. 

Use the search function on here, you will find a ton of info about how to get started.

Hopefully its appraisal is not JUST a function of average rents.I reckon its main attraction is that it HAS had $25k spent on it, but which has likely raised its appraised value by less than that, say $10k.

It wasn't even a particularly cold winter (in southern MI) but it just depends on the conditions, how the wind blows, etc- you never know which year is going to cause a problem.I'd consider having someone turn the system on in the spring also- it is a good time to check that all the heads are popping up and aimed properly and functioning, the freezing and thawing of the ground can make them move.
