The street is new, so as it fills out and cleans up and blossoms our equity should go up quickly.

@Bill Alpert don’t ever use your floor installer again

The home was a big interior and exterior clean up with minor construction.

I’m fairly new to the self-managing/property management business and certainly new to dealing with section 8 tenants.I have a potential section 8 tenant who has inquired about one of my properties and they are in their opinion “disgusted” with the way the carpet looks however up until this point in my efforts of marketing the property I have not had one complaint concerning the carpet.That being said she has requested to rip out the carpet, in turn to replace the carpet with hardwood floors. 

The lot is overgrown at the moment so clean it up and then start with two buildings on one end (30'x300') and covered parking on the other side.
