I needed work on severe wood rot in one of my properties (memphis), and the property manager (Marathon) was suppose to find a contractor who ..exact words on the contract:   Lots of siding on chase(chimney) that needs replaced, will take 9 pieces, 16 ft. then paint repairs $402.50After the work was done I had my agent take before and AFTER pictures.  

I used to use epoxy but fusion is also very stain resistant and acrylic so easy to use....not cement based but it looks cement based.

It's usually required if you're doing a large renovation of the property, but sometimes not if you're just painting etc. but again - based on your local codes.

The more you work in real estate - whether you're painting houses, selling houses, or doing comparative analyses of housing markets - you'll start learning what you need to know in the niches out there that might be of interest to you.Why don't you start through some of the education and tools tabs from above and tell us what grabs your interest?

The problem is the city requires an itemized list of repairs with estimates of repair for each violation. 90% of the violations are things like peeling paint, windows and doors not working etc.

Should I rip the tile out or can it be painted? 

I've only worn what I had on that day, so sometimes I was working on the property when they came by and it was scrubby paint stained jeans and t-shirt, and other times, I was coming from work or church and I was wearing finer attire. 

The biggest ordeal is the Windows as well as the exterior paint.

I own Starsacpes F/X of DFW; I paint cosmic murals on ceilings.

Re painting, sheet rock the normal.
