It can involve repainting, replacing blinds and carpets, filters.

I believe this works best on a cash basis when you are first starting out, because you can make mistakes and not be bankrupted, i.e. you don't have a lender breathing down your neck.

Higher rates and lower available credit on all my cards - ironically all but my Chase card - won't hold my breath :)

People like that don't breathe without consulting their lawyer or accountant (sometimes both!)

They must replace the a/c filters.  

Most smaller projects will not think to use a project manager but they are the ones that will end up complaining about how long a project took to complete and be crying about ending up paying over 70% over budget and scared that the house they built will not sell because they have their lenders breathing down their neck for payment of their loans. 

I'm not holding my breath, and intend to move forward with a deal today, but I wouldn't burn all my liquidity for a down payment with one deal at the top of the raging bull market we've seen in everything from real estate, bonds and stocks.

I hadn't thought of looking there, but I was surprised to find out that on the Hillsborough site you can actually search through certain filters to find tax deliquent owners, mortgage/deed dates etc.

Once you have some breathing room systematize whatever is consuming the greatest amount of your time.

@Michael GansbergYou had a good idea with the vaporizer and the air filtering machine.
