ohio: Pride in Our Work - 12/15/11 04:30 PM
Now that we are back doing some rehabing for our out-of-state investors I have become more critical about the condition of the rehabs I inspect.
When a rehab is complete it should look complete. Anyone that presents their work for sale (all of ours are rentals) should be proud to walk any prospective buyer through the property. I don't understand the lack of pride in the completed work.
The homes in these pictures all had offers and I was doing the Home Inspection for the prospective buyer.
The blue line isn't decorative, it is painters tape.

ohio: Things you don't want to hear at an inspection. - 12/01/11 12:52 PM
There are a number of things you don't want to hear during an inspection. Some are said by the inspector, but others could be said by the homeowner, Real Estate Agent, or even client/buyer. Here are some of my favorites:
"We had an Electrician go through the whole house and there isn't any knob and tube wiring left."
"The roof is only 7 years old and they stripped it down to the rafters when they replaced it.
"We just had all the ducts and returns cleaned."
"You can get to everything real easy. We had a new … (11 comments)

ohio: Sports in Dayton - 09/03/10 03:06 PM
If there was any question that the Bucks would take Marshall to lightly I think those questions were answered last night. In a good opening game OSU beat Marshall soundly 45-7. Ok, there was little doubt that Number 2 Ohio State would come out on top, but we've all seen the scares before. They looked great by the way and here is a short replay of the game.
Ohio State University vs Marshall University
Our next game is going to be a real test of the Buckeye's metal against Miami of Florida on September 11 at 3:40 pm.
