. #2 is definitely cheaper if you do it yourself, probably more money if you have a drywall guy do it, less disruptive than tearing out the old drywall but way more mess from sanding. 

I would work with tenants on majorly disruptive fixes.

This industry is ripe for disruption. 

I see it every week).Quickly on the long term financial viability of solar: as has been mentioned there are many factors to consider:Net meteringTax creditsPanel and system degradationSoilingSnowWeather patterns (rain and clouds)Daily solar radiation (how much sunlight is there really during the day)Shading (current and future like trees that are growing)Rate hikes from utility companies (in Utah this is around 4% per year, averaged)Power disruptions (outages, maintenance, etc)System maintenance costs (cleaning, repairing and replacing components)If you take out a loan, interest costsAnd there are more....In real estate there are plenty of people willing to sell you a house and not disclose the issues if you don't think to ask or inspect.

For those who got used to how things were, dare I say a bit lazy on things, yeah this would be a rather big disruption and I wouldn't like that either. 

I’m surprised Affirm would be involved.The cost is worth $499.00, maybe $999 if they would invest in adding more value…having a FB community is not a value add.I was expecting the material to be cutting edge & disruptive to traditional whole selling - silly me.$11K for sign in credentials to a digital product with some videos talking about the obvious is not cutting edge or disruptive…it’s just wrong.

They have no desire to disrupt the mls.Their ultimate goal is likely to sell their website to a national brokerage as their business model simply doesnt work.

What I cannot respect is a feeble attempt to disrupt my business using fictional insinuations. 

@Gayle Eisner She’s disrupting my other tenant whose been there for almost 2 years and has never had a late payment.

While the industry is legally very regulated, the compensation model is totally open - as a customer you can choose flat fee brokers, full service brokers, discount brokers, go FSBO, sell to iBuyers - the industry is being disrupted all the time.At the end of the day, the free market sets the price.
