Hi Ben,A brewery huh...You probably have something else in mind. but when you say Fort Collins BreweryI envision a Brewery/public bar with the bar having 12 foot high ceiling to floor windows on one side (on the side of a mountain) with a long expansive unobstructed view of the lower lands below.With a 40 foot deep deck on piles with chairs and tables outside in front of the large windows.And inside chairs and tables plus 6 premium raised up horseshoe booths that go for $20 extra just to sit there and enjoy the view--and buy alcohol and food.The bar serves high quality skin on hot dogs, fries cooked in beef tallow, pizza with  ton of cheese on it, high quality fried cheese sticks, and hot wings.The interior color scheme is dark brown wood and burgundy Naugahyde with nail trim.With some salt blocks put out to attract Elk to the area.There is a large steel building on the property with it's own parking lot for rental for wedding receptions, which includes a bar (due to the liquor licence)It also has a nice view and flowery repose area for wedding pics with the beautiful view as a background.Customer base not aimed at the College level (animal House crowd), but a nice place, a destination, that if someone is going to visit Ft.Collins--this is "THE" place to visit (and spend money at).But with Covid...public gathering places...hmmmm .... hmmmmm(???)

I did a deep clean, added some paint, and put in a radon mitigation system.

Deep cleaning between tenants was something new to me when I moved here.

Multi part: Contractors - for the rest of your career and I don't care how deep you get into real estate you will be vetting new contractors. 

You can make some touch-ups, IE paint, new backsplash, glaze bathtub or bathroom tile, deep clean the entire apartment..

Even if they have renters insurance, you will be dragged in to most losses as you are the deep pockets.
