@William RobisonWish that I could, but I'm flying back from a wedding that day.

The SouthSide group is having a meeting this Wed, 2/4/15 at 6:30 pm at the Piccadilly in College Park off of Old Nat'l Hwy/Godby Rd. 

That being said, some common themes we see are lots of dark stained hardwoods (people are starting to ask for wider planks), wood stained front doors, ceramic tile or natural stones ( we don't do any laminate or vinyl products), painted cabinets (generally a white or gray), combined with an accent piece (could be an island or wet bar area) of a different color. 

I've bought the domain,logos, and even the Studiopress theme!

At least that was the common theme that I found when interviewing some of the most influential members of BP and asked them how to talk to Sellers.

The same happened to the me with a property in Phoenix AZ.

It took me a few years to get here with my wife from Viet Nam and they looked up our buttox with a microscope to make sure there was no wedding fraud.  

She found a beaten up triplex for $198,000 in a better block and it has paid for student loans, a wedding and living expenses when times were real tough.

Buying to hold is like getting married, you don't cheap out on the wedding, and you got to think long term.

In the university area, 3br apartments would be in the $1K range.She will give me a $1000 clean-up credit towards purchase price.The strategy is to get the residential rented by advertising on bulletin boards at the med center (grad students/interns).Then advertise the property for sale as follows:FREE RETAIL SPACE FOR YOUR BUSINESS NEAR UNIVERSITY.orDistressed seller.
