All that was left was to close the walls (which are open to be able to see the electrical and plumbing) and finish the kitchen cabinets.

This is taken directly from the PPP Loan Application (which required your initials next to each statement):_____The funds will be used to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage interest payments, lease payments, and utility payments, as specified under the Paycheck Protection Program Rule; I understand that if the funds are knowingly used for unauthorized purposes, the federal government may hold me legally liable, such as for charges of fraud.

The money you put aside for a new roof is retained earnings (savings) and is taxable income if you did not use the money for a roof that tax year.

Try to find these items (corkscrew bottle opener etc) that are wall mounted, or able to be mounted on a cableThis way, they are impossible to remove from the property

Common fees will include a set-up fee, leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

It won’t work out too well if you need to have a sheet of drywall replaced and do it BEFORE you replace a section of a leaking pipe inside the wall, because you will ultimately need to have the wall ripped open again and will add additional costs.

@Jaron Walling yes the comps were recent. 

They send someone out that notes all the service required (cleaning, holes in wall, broken blinds, bulk disposal, carpet cleaning, landscaping, etc etc) and a price to fix it all.

So to keep things quick and simple, I currently own 2 finance companies which have provided me with approximately $3.5M in LIQUID CASH as of the time of this post.Given that we are entering and many suggest, currently, in a recession, I saw the writing on the walls and decided to "cash out" in early August 2022.
