Curious what other s are paying for some wallpaper removal/patch repair/crack repair and for repainting a room- ceilings, walls, trim.

While hiring a good manager takes most of the headaches out of owning rental homes, it doesn't remove all of them.Hope this helps!

.* roof* floors * bath* Masonry * possible mold removal - not verified/inspected not included in $30k.

Does anyone have hands on (Do it yourself) experience with having an abstract of judgment fully released and removed from public records (not seeking legal advice, just relevant past experiences)?

Incomplete demo: removed cabinets from wall, remove couple soffits, and broke a soffit in bathroom w/o finishing or cleaning up.

The property is currently listed for $70,000 but needs about $30,000 worth of work (floors need to be replaced, all moldings need to be replaced, all walls need to be repainted, caulk around all windows is black and needs to be replaced, a lot of doors are broken, AC units needs to be replaced, room most likely needs to be replaced, two large trees may need to be removed to prevent foundation damage).The property has been on the market for about 5 months and there aren't any offers on it.

But to answer your question @Chris C. yes the HOA can enforce the rules set forth in the by-laws (read them carefully). 2 weeks ago I received a notice from my HOA that I needed to submit paperwork about my tenants having a trampoline in the backyard...If they disapprove it they have to remove it.....there's nothing I can say but wait on their decision....I can't even put a storm door on the front door without their permission (smh).

Every one of them I've talked to ended up  removing the  information.

I sold a home to an investor and he said he wanted to remove the old porch and build a new porch before COE and I said, yes!

Its easier to remove them , but it is still time consuming to paint them , take them off , buy new ones and put them up in less than 1/4 of the time .
