Cut your teeth with half a dozen SFRs, buy a 12 unit, then jump into this.

I had to over the phone since they would not set up a time to meet and when I conveniently stopped in they are not there.The reason for not signing a lease is because of pay cuts at work and one started a masters degree.The txts do annoy me.

Most housing authorities are out of money so there's a few making cuts, we got a notice that the maximum is going down to $1,050 on our annual renewal and anything above the $1,050 will need to be paid by the tenantIt's an ok program, in LA the department is bureaucratic and over worked so it can be frustrating.

While the last one is a little specialized, I know, it illustrates the effects of landscaping, overhangs, shutters, breezeways, window placement and other factors in cutting utility bills.

This guy said he wanted to just cut me a check of 10% when it closes.

@Seth Levey when you have nothing to go on, better to cut your losses, fix it and move on.....

We used a battery powered sawzall type tool to cut out our one piece tub and there was no sheetrock behind it.

FYI, Inspectors are a pain to deal with, but they are there to make sure contractors are not taking short cuts. 

Lower the price, perhaps put up higher sound proofing fencing to cut down the noise, and dump this.FYI, I never buy homes on major streets, near railroad tracks, in airport flight paths, or any other major deturant to buyers.

Personally, 9 out of 10 times that I have tried to cut corners (as you put it yourself "sloth" being the main reasoning not to tear out), I have wound up having to fix the corner that was cut along with all of the unintended results of cutting said corner.
