Sometimes that's a harder question to answer :) Best wishes.

thank you for the detailed answer!

I don't actually have an answer and it's not rhetorical. 

Answering your phone calls while watching the games does not turn your living room into a home office.14-day free rent aka Augusta rule loophole.

RichSo many good answers already given by my cohorts!

1 thing; in this current market those are decent margins on such a low price point.Since I got no answer on my questions I can only *** u me that the $ partner is in a unsecured position, a no go for me.It would be cool though if more renters can buy homes.

The answer is it depends - if there is no more settlement then they are correct you probably do not need piers at this time, if it continues to move then you need to do something.

There is no given answer here, because the whole property needs to be relatively consistent.Kitchens and baths are the common answer, but if they are passable and you choose to invest in them anyways at the expense of peeling paint (or off putting exterior color) and overgrown landscaping, the appraiser and tenant will be walking up with a bad taste in their mouth, thereby not valuing the interior work you have done.But think about the general flow of someone looking to rent: more bedrooms will typically dictate more rent.  

I wish I had a better answer.

Some use very specific goal setting metrics, some use more general goals, there is no right answer for every person, but I am willing to bet that those that set some goals will be more successful in the upcoming year than those that do not.
