Hey Brian, I am a new BP member in Winter Garden as well.  

I would say maybe I cycle through the list 2-3 times, but I always try to go for fresh lists each month. thanks so much for the response @Claire Trammell

I'd go last on small claims, it's not expensive, but it's time consuming, I don't have prior experience but know some people who does. 2 weeks without communication is a little alarming, but a two week invoice is still fresh.

Any suggestions on what we can do to give the apartment a fresh clean smell?

And make sure you get tickets to a game or two at Fenway and the Garden (even though it's not the ORIGINAL Garden), watch the marathon and see the fireworks from along the Charles on 4th of July.

Even if you want to get back into real estate, the beauty is that you start over with a new cost basis in the property and fresh depreciation.

Nearly the entire house is wallpapered so it will be nice to start everything fresh.2) Instead of just enlarging the 1/2 bath to make it into a full, we have enlarged both bathrooms in order to fit larger vanities in each.

We used a garden hose and broom to get the slab cleaned up.

For operators: Merrill Gardens appears to have a community in Woodstock, GA I haven't worked with them but you could reach out.

@Andrew JohnsonOk, again, I am very fresh at this whole "bigger pockets mentality" and I love the insight that you are providing.
