If the area is not dry when the bleach evaporates, or moisture is still in the contaminated area (humidity, outside air dampness), you could re- start the contamination process immediately and to a greater degree.(9) Chlorine is a key component of DIOXIN.

I've heard a few no's on my first round of calls and 1 "possible Commercial Real Estate Line of Credit" - but did HELOCs just dry up on rentals?

Instead, you can take a wide drywall knife, dry, hold it at a very slight angle to the ceiling, and just knock the popcorns off (wear a dust mask).

After the ceiling is dry it is best to sand the surface, this will remove any residue left on the sheetrock and give you a better surface to apply your new texture of paint.Depending on where you are, check your local codes for disposal.

Thanks @Bradley BuxtonI have done very cursory investigation of the Tahoe areas, but my understanding is that it is not very friendly to STR investment (e.g. limited permits and the potential of completely banning STR's).I currently have property in a mountain resort town that is close(ish) to a metro area so we have lots of WFH employees, but it appears that the market is drying up due to RTO policies. 

I will always love Chicago, but I know I cannot make a good life for myself while being bled dry by the state, having to work even harder and harder for a significant portion to just go to the state.

Our investing is pretty cut and dry to that of what you describe and I'd be interested to find out how  you work this deal.Using the term "broker" I take it that this is not a JV whereby the partner is purchasing the Note and you are partnering with that person to fund.
