As real estate investors, where we will spend a good sum this year on flooring, appliances, lighting and plumbing fixtures, and so on, is this company worth looking into?

I'm pretty sure I want to invest in Lancaster,PA and I am just looking to buy someone a cup of coffee that might be willing to sit and talk about investing in this area.

Let's say your 1980 house rents for 1200/mo, you paid $80k for the house and it is leveled by a tornado.Insurance company can depreciate the floors, roof, walls, fixtures, windows, etc. and although it would cost $100k to rebuild the house, you're only going to get $60k ... $80k depreciated.The difference in coverage types really matters when it comes to total losses.

Go have a cup of coffee with them, ask them what needs fixed around the place, review that everything stays in place (rent rate, pay their own utilities,etc.).

On our routine inspections we check all plumbing fixtures and connections, as they sometimes loosen.Sounds like your lease covers damage caused by tenants, intentional or not.

Please drop me a line, would love to hook up with you for a cup of coffee!

Fresh paint, new carpet, replacing flooring, shiny new faucets, replacing light fixtures, etc. go a long way in their eyes, cost very little, and in most cases can be done in a day.I think your heart is in the right place, but you have to think like a businessman, not a friend.

We are also upgrading the kitchen, painting, installing new flooring, and new fixtures to bring in better renters.

The big pluses engineered hardwood are:it is more stable than traditional hardwood, so are less likely to cup or twist;is more sustainable to produce than traditional hardwood (makes resources go further);some are available with installation methods/systems allowing for easier installation than traditional hardwood.

Still needed is some finishing touches, the light fixtures, equipment installation (kitchens, baths are there, just not installed yet).
