I am not an anti-leverage guy - I have notes on some of my properties - but in your situation I could easily see you having to start drawing down the value of your retirement accounts because you are right to the limit.

If the customer ends up buying the house I will credit the $250 paid towards the overall project & once hired will release an itemized breakdown of project expenses.Estimating rehab costs is no small task. 

I don’t trust myself to do all of those very specialized tasks well enough.

I need "Tasks" to be pushed to Calendar when they are created or changed, and I need G Cal events to be created as "tasks" when they are created. 

You can require the animal is leashed or in a carrier on common areas, in particular elevators, stairways, and hallways, unless doing so prevents the animal from performing it's task.

I will tell the big difference in these two is that the animal has to perform tasks.
