We don't even want to push/rush him because the longer he waits the better financially we are. 

It's a drawn out process and doesn't happen overnight but many associations are pushing for this for the exact reasons you mentioned above.

You just push through the noise and never quit Ray!  

The previous landlord at one of our rentals was paying a tenant to do it, and they kept the push mower in the basement which has an outside entrance.  

I know I over improved my unit, however I knew this and was aiming to increase the property value as much as possible for equity push.  

I once got an offer I thought was a good offer but I pushed for more because I would have had to sell my place that I just bought to move.

You aren't obligated to remove the paint from the walls, but if you decide to remove it then you have to hire a contractor licensed in lead paint removal.Skimming with drywall mud and painting over can easily resolve the peeling issue if it's a small area, unless there is a larger root cause to the problem.

Push to have the rehab accomplished in less than 60 days, and rent each unit for 725-750/month.

I say finally because our offer was accepted about 6 weeks ago and closing ended up being pushed back an entire week due to an estate being dismantled and causing all three children of the original owner(who all live out of state) having to sign individually.

I have fallen short of this goal many times with my own family but still push both for my own family and to show my dad he instilled in me the work ethic and drive to push on.
