People also love the back deck with the string lights and a nice seating area. 

We are finding many properties needing light to moderate rehab in the 100-125K range.  

Due to past poor management of the environmental infrastructure, the river has become illegal to swim in in certain parts, and after rain falls the entire river is off limits to swim or fish in due to the heavy amounts of pollution ending up there that the city has not had the infrastructure to deal with in the past.But this all began to change in 2017, when the Virginia General Assembly passed the largest infrastructure project in Alexandria's history to make the Potomac River swimmable, and fishable by the year 2040, and they have made significant progress recently with the completion of the 2 mile long, 100-foot deep Waterfront Tunnel named Hazel.Named after environmental activist Hazel Johnson, the Hazel Waterfront Tunnel will prevent millions of gallons of combined sewage from polluting the region's waterways.

Decided to grab another one there since we've already built out a great team and the lift to get it running will be light.

Her leaving was bittersweet, as it was for a great personal opportunity for her.I’d love advice from you seasoned landlords:Should I lower the requirements in light of the area’s circumstances, or wait it out?

I definitely understand everyone else's practical advice regarding "lifestyle investments" but also think there is something to be said about following what lights a fire for you!
