This seems like a pretty cut and dried matter to me.

The last year, all our properties increased in value by about 20% from what we paid, and the short sales in that price range have dried up.

If that goes south they have told me they will be hung out to dry and lose their job among other things.

Unless he uses a fast drying compound, that means an extra trip.

The dry wall had been cut out before so that is not wet.Now it has been a full week that the basement is covered in water because the bank is taking forever to come to a solution to this.We offered to still purchase it with a $6K credit.

The home owner retrieved a towel from inside his home, the woman dried off, dressed and left.It was at that point he re-entered his home to discover that he had been robbed of a handgun, jewelry and medication.

If 3M were to leave town, this place would dry up.

It had rotted siding, windows, trim, wood framing, etc throughout, overgrown trees, roots, outside slab cracks, outdated and worn out kitchens / bathrooms, floors throughout, rodents in the attic with torn insulation as well as torn HVAC conduits, leaking sky lights, etc, etc, etc.

Fixall dries much harder than spackle, making it much harder to sand and remove-which is why you really have to use coarser sandpaper if you're dealing with Fixall. 

In addition the economies of scale wont make sense to hire an onsite manager until you get in the much larger buildings like 30+.I notice you are a local DFW guy and you may notice that the inventory for the type of building you are talking about is bone dry.
