Every quarter to six months, their job should be to follow a comprehensive checklist to check for exterior and interior issues such as plant & tree overgrowth, wood rot, roof or plumbing leaks, electrical issues, window failures, and all other key items which may affect the integrity of the properties and structures you may own.

I also installed wood floors in the bedrooms.

But, they continue to build beach front housing and allow wood frame homes in California to be built in the forest.

Knock on wood, we have never had a vacancy. 

The house already has the wood/cedar look going so I Imagine it would be cheaper to do but worried the ARV would be less compared to going modern and white.

I will replace my pipes with PEX, properly insulate pipes, have the thermostat set to a certain temperature when a property is vacant, require tenants to have renters insurance, and send a reminder to keep water dripping in cold temperatures. lol is it odd that I am actually excited about working on this project instead of experiencing sleepless nights (*knocks on wood) ...

Some examples are we added more cans, upgraded fixtures (lighting and plumbing), quartz instead of granite tops, added 1.5 bathrooms, added 2 fire places, added a waterfall for the pool, upgraded from carpet to wood flooring everywhere, added the theater (theater alone was $17K), etc.

This has probably been going on for too long and when you replace the window you will most likely find some wood rot.
