I think about where I would want to live and think, Coral Gables, Brickell, Downtown and all these crazy expensive places which I know is probably not a good place to start when buying my first property.

(I have done initial interviews with them, but, of course, there nice and responsive initially, but later on, they show their true colors...)

Can these colored tiles be reglazed to white? 

Also, the previous landlord used several different colors of ink which leads me to believe he made that modification last second to benefit his friend. 

I'm a Realtor and investor in Naples, FL looking to develop relationships with investors interested in SWFL (Fort Myers/Cape Coral and south to Naples).

Chipped paint, holes in the wall, floors are destroyed, all the bedrooms are painted ridiculous colors and the kitchen needs to be completely remodeled. 

I was at first frustrated that a wife asked me what color I was going to stain the deck.

If a buyer has an opportunity to come along now and pick colors of anything, or flooring types etc., then show the picture of the house and say Almost ready to move in...come choose your finishes and less make a deal!"

I would clean out the junk in the pole shed, clean the interior, repaint a neutral color, replace carpet and other light rehab tasks.

I know rental rates in Charlotte County haven't quite blown up the way they have in Lee (can't find a rental house for less than $1,000 a month in Cape Coral)... but there should still be plenty of opportunity there with a buy and hold strategy.Financing can seriously increase your monthly rental income as it increases the number of properties you can own, but it eats in to a portion of your net profit as you are paying a for the financing, have higher costs of acquisition (think of the closing costs on a loan!)
