The contractor also quoted me $1,200 to blow insulation into all of the walls via a small drill and pipe system to avoid having to open the walls up, but I haven't gone that far yet.Looking forward to much cheaper heating this next season, and as others have said, electric baseboard heat has no moving parts, so as long as tenants don't mash their furniture up against them we should have decades of worry free operation.

So we are no way experience at all.Here is the info:- 3 UNITS - 2BD/1BA - 1 UNIT - 1BD/1BA- GYM ON PROPERTY UNDER UNIT 1- SECURITY SYSTEM IN EACH UNIT WITH 3 OUTDOOR CAMERAS- POOL WITH LARGE PARTY DECK- STONE FIRE PIT- SOLID SURFACE COUNTERTOPS- ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORS- STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCE PACKAGE-Potential Rent Calculated to be: $1,800, $2,700, and $2,800.As a noobie investor looking to get experience, I thought I would help my father move down and help run the property, find tenants, market, manage, etc. until I can systemize it and move back to Boston, MA (where we are currently located).

I'm located in an area where its very touristy based on the outdoors.

If finished basements add value in your specific market(1), then it will add value in the appraisal report.(1) Think of an outdoor swimming pool in Arizona v Alaska, with that in mind you can't just say "oh a swimming pool adds $X in value" without knowing if we're in Alaska or Arizona... it would be a PITA and decrease value in Alaska!

He also said that if she moves out before it gets treated, live bed bugs could drop out of the furniture and infest the common area.

@Hank StolzI'd recommend Outdoor Aestheticshttps://www.outdooraestheticstx.com/The owner is friend's of mine and I know she'd treat you right!

While I have kept good records and receipts, I am having a difficult time figuring out what items I'm able to immediately write off as "supplies" and which need to be depreciated.Where I'm running into difficulty is things like second-hand furniture...

In theory, since most bedrooms have furniture taking up space in the bedroom, the carpet will last longer then carpet installed in high traffic areas. 

or the obsession to "Destress" beautiful furniture!
