BTW: I'm selling my house near Island Park if anyone is looking to stop renting or to move to an older neighborhood. I'm asking 165k for a 3br/1.5ba 2 story house, ~1900 sq ft. Oversize 2 car garage and extra paved parking for 2 more cars. PM if you or someone you know is looking. Oh, and I'll pay a $500 finders fee if you send someone my way that ends up buying the place. I'm trying to FSBO so I'd appreciate any feelers you can put out.
[shamelessness]I'll sell it for ya

Haha sucks for you, dont miss that job at all.. Which Cascade building was it??I don't know if there's more than one set of buildings but it was the one over by the Ramada Inn in the northwest corner of that complex. We ended up completely filling two of the big dumpsters over there and then tonight we went back and painting all but one bedroom and the bathroom to get a little more cash before the end of the month.

I've heard stories about Goldmark. I hear they rule with an iron fist.

^^^Yep, the big 55 gallon bags. We ended up filling about 25 of them suckers. We had a little fun though, the apartment was on the third floor so we got a pickup and just heaved everything off the balcony. When it can to the furniture we just pulled the truck away from the balcony and tossed everything over as well and had a guy at the bottom load op the truck. We ended up tearing the couch apart so it would fit out patio door. The good thing about doing this is the little goodies you get to keep that people leave behind, everything from a full bottle of UV blue to CD's, DVD's, Dishes, even some unopened food stuffs.
We though about having a garage sale for all the stuff we find that we don't want to keep.
-
careful with full bottles unless they're unopened. refer to previous post on water being shut off.
I hate dealing with evictions, man, but the last one I worked on, it smelled better in the apartment than in the hall of the building. I would've up and left too, if every time I had to leave my place, the smell of the hallway made me gag. Fucking nasty. Definitely agree, renting leads to little respect for the property from either management or renters. There's no profit in it either way.
The pictures you posted are pretty bad. I had to take cell phone pics of one place I worked on in case I got sick. Water damage + dog shit everywhere = pretty nasty mold after a few months. Even better, notes in crayon from the kids to the parents, "OK to tak to pon shop" by the front door.. classy. Another one a few months ago, abandoned house with a pool table in the garage.. along with a couch and an axe. I was surprised that one hadn't gone any further than just hacking at the couch. Some people have no ambition. heh.
-
what did you get paid to clean that up?
-
Not enough. $10.50/hr for both of us together, not a piece, which is kinda crappy but it's a little extra cash in my pocket.
-
So was that $10.50 each or $5.25 each?
Lets see pics of the finished results?

My dad owns apartment buildings and he keeps up his buildings better than anyone else I know. Most of his units have been remodeled. We are currently in the process of residing one of them. But i do agree that most landlords do zero to minimum maintenance. Currently my dad has a tenant that lives very similar to how that apartment looks, except there is more furniture and stuff. There is no egg or ketchup on the walls, but there are flies all over the place (from the crumbs from never vacuuming or sweeping) and it a huge mess. I don't understand how people can live like that.

It looks like the worst work I could imagine and it's BELOW minimum wage! That is crazy! You can easily make twice that to do that kind of work.
