I can't imagine there is that much meth left in the air or on surfaces after it's cleaned to be dangerous. 

It can be frustrating watching hotshot social media stars seemingly getting to the endgame overnight, but know that for every smiling photo on the beach are underlying risks/advantages/secrets that may not be exposed on the surface.

Yes, they look accurate on the surface.

This way, they come in, strip the beds, take out all linens and towels to wash off site, replace with new ones, clean all surfaces, etc and they're out the door.

Plan is to withdraw and take the 10% penalty and redirect toward real estate when an opportunity surfaces.

The price includes labor and materials, as well as surface preparation and cleanup.

Aloha,It's a little late now, but the BEST way to come up with the money is to set up a separate savings (or reserve) account and put money into it every month so that when the time comes for work that you KNOW will need to be done, you just write a check.Every property has the same basic elements (roof, exterior surfaces, sewer and supply piping, etc), and each element has an "expected" life (google "construction useful life").

Replace any badly damaged trim boards.(3)Protect existing surfaces not to receive paint.

The areas by the Gulf have some high insurance premiums that are capping the prices... so not just mortgage rates.It would be interesting to see the distribution of the national numbers on new home starts, if they are clustered in TX.Anyway, I think perhaps with that much general "movement," the housing market in TX (its a massive state anyway), isn't entirely frozen like other markets. i'm very supply-demand person when investing anything rather than price or rate so I always trying to understand what's going on behind the surface, for example look at how the inventory is shifting in the last 3 years reveals something interesting ... it's not just TX that has supply increased but also oklahoma and nebraska, I thought in 2019 it should be the other way around.
