I grew up 20 min south, bounced around with the army had a few years on Long Island came back to B-lo to finish school and picked up our first property while I did that.  

If you don't know what French town is in Rochester, or what East Rochester and Gonic entail or the area around City Hall, I would recommend you don't invest in Rochester.

Their down towns are directly adjacent to the worst areas of the cities, the "French town" of Rochester next to downtown is a C- neighborhood, at best, and is a contender for worst neighborhood in the state (though the tree streets of Manchester probably win that title).

I like clean bright walls and white always does that or off white and a few high quality pictures hung in a living room will help show your unit. a nice picture of Tuscan village or a picture of the french Riviera in the back round on the wall can help.

Steve,A bedroom - without a secondary exit to the exterior (i.e. french/patio doors to a balcony) - must have a window meeting code for egress, which under the 2009 edition of the International Residential Code (IRC) must satisfy four criteria: • Minimum width of opening: 20 in

@Steve French Interesting question.

"There are only a few of bad people but they move around"Anyway In our case:The tenant move in, did a move in inspection a couple days later starting to send me a message with all the things wrong with the house and said it's unhabitalbe.example: They found ants around the kitchen sink (the house has pest control and we did send the guy to treat the ants)She claim the house is not clean (we hire cleaning lady prior her move in and at the time of inspection it was fine, she is expecting spotless clean)Demand to replace master bedroom door (it was French door with no privacy lock original from builder) so we replace with regular door and add locksFront foyer wood floor has wear and tear but the rest of the house is fine.and a bunch of other things.Sure, her claim is letigimate but is the way she demand and treat that shows you can't be reasonable with this kind of people. and really it's better to cut the losses then having tenant like this.This is a nice home in nice neighborhood but it is build in 90's so you can't expect it to be perfect.

The application and process for unpaid rent (if you are able to read French, I would recommend following the Régie site en français as the English translation is frequently cumbersome).  

With one house in Arizona, he added a bedroom on a concrete slab that already had an extended roof covering so that he wouldn’t have to re do the roof, all he had to do was put up walls, a French door, some windows and run electrical.

French, what about that the quarterly taxes that are due from members to the irs for withholding?
