@V Reddy First, setting up an LLC to invest in real estate is generally to limit personal liability and for asset protection (select "magnifying glass icon" in top-right corner and search "LLC", you'll get a lot of feedback).

We end up stocking about 50/50 because my wife will drink my bourbon (she doesn't want her own glass, she just wants some of mine even if I'm not having some).

Our next door neighbor is deceased, according to property records and we always thought the property is vacant but someone showed up and started throwing bricks at the new sliding door we installed, my workers heard the loud noise and went to check and they claim to see a weapon on his hand and fled the property. 

I'm in Tacoma as well, near the glass museum.

It is a large plate glass window with a 1/2 round above. 

Some will go with a nicer pad and a cheaper carpet.The nicer pad makes the carpet FEEL more expensive to the tenant when they walk on it.A great pad also resists wear and tear and if you need to replace the carpet the pad usually can be used again.Used to you would put a plastic membrane in between the carpet and pad to protect the pad but the plastic would slide and make noise sometimes.Now they have pads with built in protection.You are not looking for the cheapest product but the best VALUE for what you pay.It depends on the area and what kind of tenants and rent base you are working with.
