Second if you look at the tile layout (which was very deliberate for other reasons) I would have had to notch a large format tile down the middle which is not easy or aesthetically pleasing.The towel bar was installed at 60 inches also a little higher than standard but what you can't see in the picture is a vent that is directly beneath it as seen below.

Now the tenant is turning this into a nightmare though arguing that the fence can be repaired and not replaced and that she s the one who takes care of the house and not the landlord (the neighboring house is in absolute disrepair so they just simply don't care where as my property is top notch).

People say the schools are a notch below the surrounding areas, but can that improve with more development and money coming into the city once Avon fills up?

Just look at some of the competing rentals in the area and aim to finish one notch above the rest. 

@Thomas Loggins not saying that any of these are the absolute right or wrong answer, but all are food for thought on the topic:Operators using online crowdfunding sites may not have access to or relationships with institutional or high net worth investors.Operators on online crowdfunding sites might benefit from including non-accredited investors AND smaller investment amounts; less experience, smaller list of investors, want to scale faster, etc.Operators using online crowdfunding sites might be excellent Operators with no interest in investor relations or building a list of investorsCrowdfunding sites can offer streamlined investor portals, communications and fundingLarger investors at say $500K plus may require more control so more, smaller investors might be ideal to some OperatorsFor Operators using online crowdfunding sites, maybe one of their values is that they believe all people deserve access to quality investment opportunities, not just the high income earners, wealthy, or institutional groupsFor Operators not using online crowdfunding sites, perhaps they prefer to build close personal relationships with all investorsA lot of the top notch, experienced Operators don't need to advertise/crowd source and have a large list of private investors lining up at the door for their next dealEven for an Operator who typically typically does 506b, maybe they're in a situation where doing a 506c makes sense from a compliance perspective (example: a big fund that has a chance of getting out there on social media or the like, so better safe than sorry) and at that point advertising on a crowdfunding site is just a "might as well" stepFor Operators using online crowdfunding sites, maybe their deals are thinner, so they can't offer the higher returns that institutional money requires (because they have access to so many deals) so they have to turn to those with access to fewer deals and thus will accept lower returnsI don't think either one is a clear cut better choice.

@Glen Hark, i think now they have the slate finish or a couple of other SS finishes which emulate brushed nickel texture. and yes, your biggest enemy is dents, then a scratch pad (just try to get after tenants that scratch your SS appliance, since it's still functional....)a different approach could be: check your market what is used, then step it on one notch in wow-features (kitchen and baths sells/rent homes; you have to wow the lady/head of the family)-edit: also Memorial Day is close so maybe you can get less than $400....

I consider a real estate investor with a state issued broker/sales license a notch above any other investor(s) because of their higher standard of ethics and oversight. 

you guys did a top notch job renovating the home.

If we DO have a flood of foreclosures, perhaps I'll buy some of them to protect myself, but most of mine I bought and made top notch in the 25-30K per unit range or less, and I'm seeing only a handful of buildings around here for sale now, and a couple larger ones listing for double what I paid for most of mine, so that's a good sign.

Some stuff I buy top notch tools - Bosch for power tools, Hitachi nailers.
