With finding a pot of gold like BP it is a wonder my head has not exploded yet!

Thanks for the heads up about the credit card aggregating, didn't even know that existed!

I've read to use white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, nature's miracle, odorxit, bleach solution, etc the list goes on and on making my head spin.  2) Kilz original oil based primer VS Zissner BIN shellac? 

Two heads are better than one.  

I used to live in West LA (live in Venice now) and I was an aerospace engineer :) I transferred positions with Lockheed from Atlanta to Palmdale out here and then left it to head into the REI world.

Not just in your head.

Things I have found renters care less about than I do: new cabinets, fancy light fixtures, specific types of flooring (other than no carpet), granite countertops, outside landscaping, fancy siding, heavy curb appeal in general, fancy appliances, and probably other things I can't even think of off the top of my head.

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm struggling to wrap my head around how you all seem so "hands off" in comparison to ourselves in terms of labor, and so incredibly strategic as far as finding deals.   

Hit the nail on the head, I didn't treat this as a business transaction, I shouldn't have allowed the leniency.
