all these old houses have the same issue. the wall is 2" deeper than the tub and you cant put tiles there to prevent drywall damage.you fix the drywall and it comes back. i am guessing the tub has a slight pitch and that's why the splashing water is rolling towards the outuside of the tub.see the picture.the corner guard is not helping, as you can seeanywhere to fix it?

We are now managing a 4 unit investment property in Oak Park IL for a family member.After their unexpected passing we found that there was a reverse mortgage on it.Property fair market value is about $335K with foreclosing Lenders estimate of $495K.The lender started foreclosure process, but we want to keep the property either to keep it as an investment property ($41.7K rent -$10K taxes -water), or sell in the future when prices pick up.With the current market we cant get a fair shake on the price, and we had some funny low ball offers from people/investors wanting to take advantage of the situation.We are looking to either partner with someone knowledgeable and split up the units and future rent profits, or loan $285,000 cash in exchange for a 30% percent stake of the home's future appreciation.What would be a better sounding offer to you as an investor?

If so, he hosed himself and you.
