Far from it.It was a combination of borrowers using their homes for ATM's, Wall St. hedge fund managers who created mortgage  backed security products and the greed of the lenders who needed to "feed the beast."

But I agree , it's a good point to negate the uncleanliness of the shared wall with neighbors to provide pest control 

Hey,I'm looking for a couple of contractor referrals for a large replacement of a Railroad Tie retaining wall that is rotting out, and an elevated deck+walkway.

Ask them to pull comps of what other houses in the area are selling for - only manufactured homes.Looking at your listing, the finish quality looks ok but the manufactured walls don't help. 

Tenant had put wall closets, when he removed them there were holes(naturally) so he patches them, so there are big patches(not small) all over the wall in apartment, so need to repaint to look paint smooth.  

An HVAC guy could also tell you if a double walled thimble (a pipe in a pipe) could correct the problem or if attaching noncombustible material to the floor beam would be able to solve it.

With home prices on the rise in a large number of markets, including Austin real estate, stats are showing that just about every Tom, Dick, and Harry have been taking a stab at making some extra money by flipping homes.According to the Wall Street Journal, the first nine months of 2016 had the highest number of investors flipping a home since 2007.

I provide an incredible amount of service for those rents as well. 

Have an incredible year!
