Make sure drawers and doors have a soft close feature as this will also increase the lifetime that the cabinets will last (in addition to protecting kids fingers)Lastly I would splurge a bit on the back splash.  

Fingers crossed, won't get any sleep tonight.

Fingers crossed that someone out there has a good lead for me!

Keep your fingers crossed it's not audited.  

Zach Like I mentioned on Jonathan Twombly post, we are planning to cash out all our properties this year which should leave us with $340k in our pockets by the end of the year, with that money we are going to buy my parents house hopefully by next month (we got so lucky that they want to sell, it's in bad shape and my parents don't want to invest in it, they don't want anything to do with real estate) we offered to buy it for as is value which is $100k and they accepted but we will end up paying around $110k because we took over there mortgage payment of $960 this month will be our 3rd month paying their mortgage and hope to be the last one because our house should be ready real soon to put up for sale in our area houses are under contract in about 15 days so fingers crossed.

I've already learned some very important things and I'm excited about this little adventure that will help me when I DO buy my own multi- family house (fingers crossed) But I'm also scared that I'm going to mess things up. 

Not closed but fingers crossed.Now, the question a) is there any good blog/post showing how best to rent it outb) my COE is Aug6th.

Good luck selling fingers crossed

Please any thoughts would be helpful, and please no finger waggling post, I'm really not interested in what your compliance officer thinks they know.  

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and if you come across a SF 130-160 ARV on the far North side of Milwaukee be sure to let me know.
