It’s a completely different color than the sample that was shown to me (basically the sample showed only one shade of many, and so I was expecting just a dark brown, yet the end result is many different shades that create a very chaotic, wild and jarring look).

I really just wanted something a little bit lighter than SW agreeable grey, but still dark enough to look good with a white, white trim.

Maybe someone sealed an old vent improperly.Maybe she's secretly running a day care and the stench is just overpowering and leaks out naturally somehow.if it were mine, I'd have the sewer system smoke tested:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?

If we can’t successfully do this addition, were inevitably going to have to find another home in the coming years since were quickly outgrowing the one we’re currently in.We currently owe approx $151k on our current mortgage and after the addition I am taking a shot in the dark and estimating that the appraised value of the house would be around $300k if I did the comps around the neighborhood correctly.

I got a call very early this morning (1AM) That my apartment was "On Fire".Needless to say it was , one unit was severely damaged, an additional unit has quite a bit of water damage, and there is some smoke infiltration to other units.I've already issued a claim with my insurance company (I'm insured 100% Over my purchase price).Anyways , what should I be looking for ,ect?

OOS investing has a dark side, not only for investors, but also for the residents and the city.Milwaukee is a classic target for "cash flow buyers" and that creates a lot of issues.

The inspection focuses on potential health and safety hazards: fire safety, smoke and CO alarms, egresses, electrical safety, gas or plumbing leaks, etc.

Agreed with @Scott Mac - let the professionals handle it and smoke bomb the place until you're certain everything is clear.

Second, our tenants sign a lease addendum that specifies, among other things:1) I/WE UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT IT IS OUR CHOSEN RESPONSIBILITYTO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY AND INTEGRITY OF THE ABOVEMENTIONEDPROPERTY, AND THAT WE WILL PERFORM, OR CAUSE TO BE PERFORMED,THOSE MAINTENANCE TASKS WHICH INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:KEEPING THE CARPETS AND FLOORS CLEAN AND UNCLUTTEREDREPLACING THE FURNACE FILTER AT LEAST EVERY THREE (3) MONTHSKEEPING WALLS AND CEILINGS FREE OF MARKS, STAINS, AND DAMAGEMAINTAINING A CLEAN, PEST-FREE INTERIORKEEPING ALL APPLIANCES CLEAN AND WELL-MAINTAINEDREPLACING THE BATTERIES IN SMOKE DETECTORS AND THERMOSTATSCLEANING GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS AT LEAST EVERY SIX (6) MONTHS 2) I/WE UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT MANAGEMENT WILL CONDUCTSCHEDULED SAFETY INSPECTIONS OF THE PROPERTY TO ENSURE THATADEQUATE MAINTENANCE IS BEING PERFORMED AND I/WE AGREE TO FULLYCOOPERATE IN THE SCHEDULING AND PERFORMANCE OF THESE SAFETYINSPECTIONS.So, when it's Safety Inspection time, we just call up the tenant and schedule one.

I started to do a photo mockup of the doors in place, but quickly realized to fit in with the wainscoting and cabinets, the door width plays a big part in the overall look and feel of the balance.If it were mine, I would get all 4 doors on site--borrow them and return them, in a size most will be.Then stand them in the openings and leave them there for a couple of days.Look at them morning, noon and after dark, and pick the one that feels most fitting to you.If you are challenged in this area, ask a few lady friends for their opinion, and factor that in (most women have a pretty good sense of style and design).Good Luck!
