In need of a painter that can do touch up work for indoors for a rental property.

Hi Lucien, i'm currently in the process of looking for a househack property in North San Diego county, with the intention of  renting rooms to Marines and Sailers, along with doing some sort of short term rental in the yard with an air stream, travel trailer or a yurt.

I was tired of renting, in renting landlords were always counting on me to fix things as they broke air conditioner, water heater stove/oven leaky faucet... decided if I was gonna be a "handy man" I might as well own the property I'm fixing How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

If your tenants' place reeks you could anonymously mail them some air fresheners with a note that reads For your place, you stinky, gross pig-livin' human. :-)

I have so far not allowed cats in one of my properties (condo) but there is a seemingly good couple who has applied and has an indoor cat, so I'm debating what to do.

They're very inefficient and can be swapped out to an air handler setup in the attic so you can have central air.

They're a superior method of conditioning the air.

This would be cash+  The though here was to buy a new home to live in, Air B&B our current home (vacation destination). 

@Roderick Jamieson are you currently stationed at Fort Carson or Peterson Air Force Base?
