And the counter top is huge, the DW is about in the middle of a roughly 18 foot span.I thought about removing a section of the counter top and replacing it with perhaps a butcher block feature but I am not sure how that would look and it is right next to the sink.Should would appreciate any solutions that the BP family might have to offer.Thanks in advance, Dan

I still need to install the butcher block, cabinet knobs, toe kick, and some crown molding/trim before its painted.

And they had a "cottage" up at Lake Poygon Winneconne ( again probably butchering the spelling...I think I will explore there and see whats going on.

So, property management, construction, etc, and related expenses can be written off on your taxes; another nugget.In order for the IRS to recognize you as being in business your need to have the ability to link money to a source\an activity and once that is accomplished you can begin to write off expenses that are ordinary and required for your business.Now, I'm sure i am butchering the quote, but I think the just of it has been conveyed.Now, my question is, if my first business is land-lording and my 2nd business is, lets say flipping, or wholesaling, do I need to have separate everything; i.e. bank accounts, corps etc, following her logic, to apply her interpretation of the tax code correctly?

Set the tub in place, Drywall guy to fix where the walls are butchered by the plumber.Painter next..Then new floor tileThen cultured marble, Then the plumber comes back & does finish work, my plumber also sets the new toilet & vanity, Then moldings, mirrors lights & towel bars..

Ok, obviously wet behind the ears here, I literally just made this account to ask this question so please don't butcher me for my ignorance but I have finally received my first phone call from a potential seller and I have listed the comps below.

I also had a friend bring me some IKEA butcher block countertops, since Tulsa doesn't have a store.

I can find reliable subs for just about everything else (And the more reliable, the more expensive)... but finding good and reliable carpenters is like walking into a butcher shop and asking for Unicorn steaks. 

Besides large ant farm community housing, I’m literally the only game in town.My units are brand new stainless steel kitchens, butcher block countertops, LED lighting, etc on and on it goes.That being said, comparable cap rates for multi family (not updated) are selling for around 10.5%, and I purchased the property at a 10% cap rate.The commercial lender at wesbanco wanted to use a cap rate structure in determining value of the property.

I might have skills as a great finish carpenter, but if I'm cutting a side of beef, my fees are more akin to those of a butcher, not a carpenter and I'm not entitled to charge for both skills, only those pertaining to the actual service required.Where Karl feels he is entitled to justify a higher price as an investor-broker, I disagree as a good broker should already know what an investor would lend to a transaction.On that note, then I'll say, I approach a real estate transaction as an investor, financial advisor, a real estate broker, a real estate official, a real estate lender and as a regulator!
