I sit in the parking lot of grocery stores and fast foods and look at the clientele.

I have a hard time kicking folks out for any reason, but I let a kindly couple who hoarded food and other stuff and it took 3 weeks to haul everything out and get rid of mice. 

We have contractors who can get us estimates for inspection items and we use that to negotiate.A couple more pieces of advice I would like to leave you with:- Make sure your Agent is knowledgeable about rental properties and what it takes to get them rent ready.  

The database or spreadsheet contains the variable items that are to be input into the blanks of the document. 

Hi Ryan Biankowski if it were me I would keep my $10k in the bank for holding costs as well as you'll need funds for items you need to put deposits on like cabinets, counters etc.I would find a great deal, use an HML for my first position lender and a PML for the second.

All of these items are on a time clock.   

This process can be very costly, requires zoning permission, in addition to all the items you listed.

Like games, outdoor items that fit the area, and other similar items.

Questions:1) What items should I focus on renovating if I need to INCREASE the house value?

These items are just as important as insulating,...probably more important.
