Most likely these properties will be turn key so we can get our feet wet. 

Also, I sound like a wet blanket. 

Go back two days later and you'll smell wet dog or cat urine.I offer tenants a "pre-inspection" where I walk through and give them cleaning tips, point out things that may cause a deduction, and answer any questions.

I can only guess it might have been the old wet mop 'n bucket they left in the corner?

For our rental kitchens, we just make sure to get plywood frames (no particle board, as it will be destroyed when it gets wet).

I would think appliances that have never been turned on and a bathtub that's never been wet would be called new.

The new set up will be: 1 unit - 1 Bd, 1 Br, living room, & kitch (living but can rent for $600 -$725)2 unit - 4 Bd, 2 Br, living room, kitch, & a wet bar (est $1500 per month)3 unit - 3 Bd, 1 Br, living room, & kitch ($1,300 per month)Cost: $40KMy property is unique, so you can really find any similar home in the 19082 zip code.

The wall cavity itself was not wet at all, but did seem that there may have been moisture in it at some point in the not too distant past and did read a higher than normal moisture content.So before I feel comfortable having the floor replaced I'd like to identify the source of this, but do need to do it soon as it is not in a condition that I can just leave it as is for several weeks.

Cut off a six inch length and only use WET.

They all want to wet their beaks.It's a big industry now.
