@Jonathan Hulen if you just paint it then it will probably not look very good.

I had a similar house, went with texturing the paneling and skim coating the wood grooves, then painting. Drywalling everything would look better and be sturdier but as mentioned, but more expensive .

@Sarah Pursell get rid of her. You’re in Charleston not Cincinnati, you should not have any problem replacing her with someone with manners. Who wants a arrogant and entitled deep state operative as their tenant.

@David Zheng the “why not” is your going to be exchanging time for money and at a certain level of wealth that exchange is not going to even incrementally increase your happiness although you seem convinced that it will

@Marisa Rowe if you are dedicated to the corollary that “the more you make the more you spend” and all hat relationship is roughly linear than your never going to have enough

@Matthew R Mcnulty go on fiver.com or freelancer.com and hire someone to build a website on Wix, squarespace, or with Wordpress. Basic Front end, non-reactive, web design services are very cheap. I can’t imagine it being difficult to contract somebody unless you are restricting your such to your local market.

@Patrick M. How is saying “yes” to section 8 when your not section 8 compliant a good idea?

@Brian Fuerle. 99.9% of discrimination is legal, just not against a protected class of which section 8, as an entity, is not.

However some cities have legally muddied the waters by restricting the outright prohibition of section 8. However if you haven’t made your apartment section 8 compliant by going through the paperwork and a compliant lease then simply say “not section 8 compliant”

@Matt Michaelson your right, most small landlords don’t do it. If everyone was getting caught and fined that would change. Obviously that isn’t happening, yet, but who knows as the government continues to over grow and become more powerful.

@James Masotti if your issue with state specific, non-customized leases is that it isn’t as comprehensive as you would like then I would still suggest starting from a pre-made template then adding in the additional addendums you want. Just make sure they are legally enforceable. Posters often mention the dumb restrictions they add to their lease thinking their cleaver, and these addendums are often innocuous and voidable or overreaching enough to denigrate their lease. For the average Landlord of a simple SFR there isn’t good cause to pay a lawyer to write a lease with much cheaper, to free, resources unusually available . Obviously most people who already unnecessarily paid for that option are going to be emotionally attached to that decision

@Bobby Esposito why would you reinvent the wheel and pay a lawyer for a simple state specific lease? Borrow one from another landlord, buy one online, or got to a local stationary shop and pick one up.
