Perhaps I will check with a real estate attorney tomorrow and get the ball rolling.I've already heard the horror stories of tenants pouring concrete down drains on their way out.

I haven't been able to completely sit down and focus on it just yet, but once I have a more concrete foundation I'll make sure to keep everyone up to speed.  

You could also skim coat the counter tops with concrete.

It is in as covered area with a concrete base.The previous owner spent some change on having this all built.

I recently used some concrete repair caulking to give my rental property a little facelift.

It had stainless appliances/tile/concrete countertops and was mostly bare wood (aesthetic) or sheetrock, and had a minimalist/vacation home feel to it.

Would you have contracts in German , Polish , Russian , etc etc also ?

First, I think it's strange that a landlord would be Facebook friends with an ex-tenants mom ;)Also, re: the OP - the next bandit sign he handwrites for the front yard is going to read " _____  PUTS CONCRETE IN DRAINS" ... and _______ won't care a single bit. 

Hello Xzavion since your using FHA make sure to save 3.5% down payment and get pre approved before you go shopping this way you can run more concrete numbers when buying your first investment property to see if it will cashflow while you live in it or live for free.

I ripped up the old laminate flooring and when it came time to install there were cracks in the concrete sub-floor--it appears there was some patch work done--that looks to be the result of asbestos.I'm looking to see if anyone has encounter a problem similar to this in the past and see what options I have.Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.
