He would replace the dirt and sod to correct the erosion issue as well as provide proper drainage.I have two questions:1.

I'm in the process of replacing my siding.Does anybody know if there's better resale value for vinyl clapboard or vinyl dutch lap siding?

You will be replacing carpet constantly. 

My questions are: 1) Is this a common concept in commercial properties that the tenant is responsible to repair, maintain, and replace anything in their leased space regardless of the cause?

Or are you purely looking to go the conventional route only? 

And in second, setting up a "plan Z" where if all else fails what does get "burned to the ground" is replaceable, and the wealth center is protected on it's "asset island". 

Thanks,JaredI'd only pursue this if there is an big upside for appreciation, or if you planned on keeping the house forever as a rental.Run the numbers, subtract 15% a year for vacancy and on going maintenance and repairs during each year, subtract 15% per year for maintenance and repairs to get it market ready once you decide to sell it.Example if you were to keep it for 5 years and sell at the end of five years:12x$200=$2400 year gross profit15% for vacancy, maintenance, repairs ($-360.00 per year)= $2040 gross profit per year15% set aside to repair, repaint, replace to get ready to sell on market = $1800 $7000-$8000 net for 5 years of rental.Appreciation over the term you would keep it would be the only incentive, and it could be a big reason why to rent it.

For $23k, they better have replaced the whole sewer line with double-wall aircraft aluminum and platinum fittings!

I know it has been costly to replace/repair the damage done especially with the property being vacant and a monthly mortgage payment due as well without any rental income coming in.Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My business partner and I paid them $12,750 right after the roof was done, and this was for the total roof replacement plus half of the rest of the project.
