I think people here are  falling victim to recency bias. 2008 is fresh on the mind so everyone is thinking we are “due” for this wonderful correction and the deals will be everywhere. 

In the end, I decided to just take the chance and bake it into the rents.  

However, the people that pay cash are going to receive fresh eggs from my wife’s chickens.

Hard surface floors throughout so some drywall repairs and a fresh paint with a few misc repairs. 

Bring held to such a high standard is the best thing about being in the military it helps a lot of fresh out of highschool people learn how to be responsible.

Very few rentals close by (at least for now, in winter), but desirable location.We will do some updating no matter what:New laminate floor in kitchen/hallSiding needs replacing (have some insurance $ for that)Fresh paintNeeds new windows (maybe).Needs a bunch of concrete work (garage floor, driveway, stoop, walk to door).With those improvements we should be able to get at least $1000/mo.A room addition to add a large ensuite Bedroom/bath, and a laundry room to get the washer, dryer out of the garage, the bid came in at 59000 (This includes the siding).  

I see either $75-ish or the cost is baked into the nightly rate. 

A median tech salary is about $150k and fresh grads from top schools are making that much to start with. 

Over and over again.You need to reset the clock and start fresh.

I have already replaced her electric stove with a gas one basically because she didn’t like the way it cooked I put an oven thermometer inside it and it was calibrated perfectly but she said it wasn’t baking properly.
