@Ronald Rohde I was originally thinking condos for that very reason -- I could peel off individual mortgages as construction moved along and hopefully have roughly 80% of the building sold prior to the finish of construction.

If financed, tho, it can be tough down the road to peel off just one property to sell if it is part of a larger collateral deal.

One of the items on the list was to replace the kitchen floor (currently adhesive tile that is peeling up).

I'm getting quotes as high as $65 per board for hanging, taping, mudding, wrapped windows and orange peel finish.  

My old landlord would just peel and stick another piece of faux "tile" every time it needed it.I found some of those peel and stick laminate squares for under $20 at Big Lots.

Not as much variety as the peel and stick, but fine for a rental.

To photograph the damage of the paint being peeled/scratched from the walls.I am going to bill her for this trip but I am not going to get the money.

I saw some indications on the forum here that the moisture may cause the paint to peel.

While wearing HEPA dust mask, simply wet the material thouroughly with a spray bottle filled with water to prevent the dust from getting airborne.

Ambrose Evans-Prichard at the Telegraph said this last week: "The US seems caught in a Japan-style trap, endlessly masking the effect by stealing a little extra growth from the future with artificial stimulus" Then he had this: "Former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said recently that long-term yields would never reach 4pc again in his lifetime, portraying a changed world where nothing returns to normal." http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5055/blog_posts/37898-interest-rates-must-be-going-up-soon-right Good hunting-
