Behind the white mesh is wood and I don't want water to damage the area over time. 

I have a binder in each rental with contact info and all of the pamphlets that came with the appliances and smoke detectors, in addition with directions with pictures on how to change the furnace filter and how to shut off the water to the entire house in case of water emergency.

There are many management items that can really make the difference between treading water and sinking.

Hi @Jesse Waters , I am from Aiken and own property there although I live and currently invest in Knoxville.

I have seen a couple local homes have water heaters or furnaces that were installed before completion of a wall, making them virtually impossible to remove once they're dead.

If you had had a discussion at lease signing that was recent about no mods without written authorization, i would not renew. if the guy acts like its his house and he should be able to do whatever he wants and that you can pay when he messes up, i would not renew. its interesting he had you come out while the compressor hookup was in plain view.

Hi Jonathon,Lots of things to consider:1: One of the biggest expenses will be water and sewer, if the city provides and the tenant pays it may be worth considering if the numbers are right.  2: Who owns the homes, if you do expect to do a lot of maintenance that will eat into your profit, if they are all tenant owned that's one less thing to have to worry about.3: How are the roads, if they are torn apart this can be a significant one time expense that will need to be addressed sooner rather than later.4: Is there any empty land included or adjacent to the property that can be used to expand in the future.Hope this helps get the ball rolling.Regards,Omar

I thought they might be hiding in plain site, just need a new lens.  

One additional thing I would do before the ionizing  and the Kilz is to bleach treat entire area with a 50% bleach water mix.
