Also, create pages in your Welcome Book that have pictures of the remote controls and explain exactly the sequence of buttons to press to use cable, DVD, or the game system. 

Going up through walls is easy, often just 2 small holes in the wall, one to drill the plate and and one for the cat, the cross piece between studs usually halfway up a wall. fishing in the direction of the joists is easy, going across them can be done with small holes spanning the joist, notching it for the cable, and then put a steel plate over it.Given that your problem unit is ground floor, it's likely you can fish up from the basement very easily for outlets using "old work" steel boxes, plastic boxes don't work with plaster on lath, it's too thick.

We are on a shoestring right now, we have spent all of the money we are able to on necessary upgrades and furnishings etc, and given the tax/insurance/electric/gas/cable and wifi bills that are going to be due on the regular there isn't time or money to upgrade kitchen or furnishings, we were hoping that maybe we could accrue enough of a surplus that come spring we might tackle a kitchen reno or other such projects, but at this point I am not holding my breath.I will look at our prices compared to other similar properties, I had been under the impression that we were priced lower, however it seems I am mistaken given the feedback here.

Utility collections go hand-in-hand with that, if they don't pay their lights/gas, their home expense isn't top priority (over say, a cell phone payment or cable), so you can expect rent won't be top priority above all else.I rent mostly in low-c areas to immigrant populations, so my tenants don't always have social security numbers and credit scores.

Paint rest of balcony trim what ever shade of white you use around windows and doors. bronze balusters (or more expensive cable) would make it look visually way less busyl2.

@Melanie HeigesThe cable from Spain to Virginia Beach has been laid underground finally and there is going to be a giant data hub similar to Ashburn VA near corporate landing.There’s tons of develop that is going to create jobs and hopefully make the market boom.They are also building a giant sporting complex near the convention center.

The tricky part is that aiphone utilize proprietary wire/cable that it is a little more expensive than cat5 or 18/2 cable.  

Just a few things I did to help me save (and they added up):- Cut out the cable and use wifi/Netflix - Make coffee at home - Stop eating out, only making it a special occasion here and there- Stop buying unnecessary clothes - Switched from a 35$ a month gym to a $10 a month gym- Cut out "snacks" when grocery shopping- Quit smoking cigarettes - Be mindful of utilities, shut off lights at night, don't leave them on- And most importantly, stay busy.
