Wouldn't you want to know if the tub you're going to be washing in is avocado green from the 1970s with a groaning 3-handle valve set from the 1950s?

You can then keep focusing your marketing strategy to build your well oiled machine!

@Brandon Borah Unless you have a time machine that will transport you back to 2006, I doubt that you'll find anyone that will do that, but I could be wrong.

Wash first because you want to paint the wall, not the nicotine on the wall.

Ok, this is where you find out that you are a small potatoes investor in a big big machine.

My main strategy so far has been BRRRR and like many people I have been the cog that makes the machine turn.

First thread so go easy please!Just want to understand that if you have a long term rental property, would’nt you buy new (cheaper) appliances and get a multi year (say 5yr) cover?I get it that you can grab some barga...

I wiped down the walls with a vinegar/water solution, sprinkled baking soda and vacuumed 3 times and purchased an Ozone machine from Amazon and ran it for 24 hours.

There were other concerning items like a hardwired smoke alarm taken down, the new fridge handle that I had purchased ($60) was not on the fridge, and there was fallen paint and a large water stain on the kitchen ceiling (2 baths and wash/dryer above that area).

The building has needed work for years and is the victim of deferred maintenance as the owners treated it like a cash machine instead of an investment.
