Does that have any effect on cities pressuring landlords for unmaintained properties?

Will sure ask me how I know all about this it went to court and it was all in my favor  I had earnest money  and place which I had invested  and the buyer  came to the house while the owner was there to pressure washing the house  they became buddy buddy  and try to stiff me out the deal  the owner  gave me a sob story of why he has to pull out the deal and he will call me soon when he's ready to move forward .  

Here I thought you were going to say sermon from the mount ;-)

The value, particularly in the situation you've described is that we are specialists in the design, drafting, and permitting so it takes a lot of pressure off of the already overstretched investors, or discomfort in many cases, of dealing with the long arm of the permit office. 

Upon closing, I met with both tenants individually and went over a rental agreement, which they had both agreed to sign, and did so without pressure or time to think.

For example, if they pressure-washed the house, they would need to lay out tarps to catch all the runoff water and pump it into a toilet for disposal.203K—I would simply say to be extra cautious about this and only work with a lender who's done 5-6 of these in the past year.

It adds additional pressure to the kids to treat their property well and if they don't we can leave it up to mom and dad to sort it out.

In the Denver market pressure moves prices up due to low inventory and high demand, so I sure appreciate your comments.

@Adam Craig IMO, if the siding is in good shape, just pressure wash and keep it white.

Lots of pressure on appraisers to be conservative.
