I am starting to think about a soft remodel on a unit.Area is challenge to rent.How can I improve this small kitchen?

My 2010 goals Real estate: - close 5 deals a month (whole sale) - create a working relationship with 1 new investor from the BP family a month - start buying properties using my SDIRA Personal: - pay off all of my consumer debt (cedit cards by may) - get more involved in auto acutions - sell 1 car/motorcycle a month - get 2 new motorcycles ( GSX-R 1000/ soft tail custom) - new truck - start training for local pistol comp.

Tim hasn't really done a damn thing to procure this buyer.Tim should accept his $10,000 commission with grace and see it for what it is - a gift horse.Bob should pay Tim because in this hypothetical case, I'm Bob and I'm sort of a soft-hearted chump who tends to pay people even when they're not 100% deserving.

The market is soft right here, I am not sure how long it would sit on the market and I can start collecting rent now and if I change my mind, I can always sell it.

Here in Little Rock, you can ask $100 per foot (for 2bdrm) in an area where upright bass players in jazz bands live.

The market in my immediate area is a bit soft, and the value for our house is significantly below what we still owe.  

HML are hard - too hard for me -  When you get a great deal and you really want to hold the property - maybe a short term HML is the way to go  until you can get some "soft money".If you intend to flip the property - do not buy it..... instead  CONTROL IT with a skinny contract of sale - with all the necessary clauses in it that will benefit you and the seller.Make sure you have lots of time - use "banking days", study periods and delayed settlement terms.I think it is unproductive to use a HML for short term flips -Once you get a property under contract - start immediately to find your end user - your assignee the smart investors who can understand a bargain when one is presented. 

You're going to "soft pass" this one. 

Only thing that showed up was a soft pull on my credit report.

With no back splash I think a single tube 12" incandescent lite would be best, 2 of them would be soft enough to just put a muted light on the wall and granite, and be a nice night lite.
