I like good long term tenants and there are many techniques to retain tenants.

It reaches inside the walls, inside the furniture, inside the clothing, etc. when done properly.

Thanks for the replies.So J does that cost include the paint and supplies and a little wall repair?

Holes in Floor(sigh). some of electrical wiring has been ripped out of the wall, ETC.Maybe i can get them to lower the price,idk if they will.

The sense of home and belonging is generally positioned within the walls and property lines of the currency we exchange.Without the ability for people to be unable to continue possession, we would have nothing to possess.

From here do I have to obtain a permit, either myself or another contractor, in order to close walls to continue?

The property is currently listed for $70,000 but needs about $30,000 worth of work (floors need to be replaced, all moldings need to be replaced, all walls need to be repainted, caulk around all windows is black and needs to be replaced, a lot of doors are broken, AC units needs to be replaced, room most likely needs to be replaced, two large trees may need to be removed to prevent foundation damage).The property has been on the market for about 5 months and there aren't any offers on it.

I believe this is your "castle walls and moat" around you/yours.

Agreed, you only own to the center of the exterior wall most likely.

A couple of weeks ago, our PM company emailed us and said the renters were reporting enormous, 1-inch cracks in the walls from apparent foundation problems.
