To contrast that I did a open house first part of March and had 12 people.We also have a real estate store in Orange and usually get 1 buyer walk in per day and that went to one in 2 weeks.In my opinion what caused this stall is frustrated buyers tired of competing for properties and sellers who reached too high in pricing their property resulting in a stall.

So in reality, the world is operating in stark contrast to what you are interfering in your claim that no debt is better than debt.

By contrast I can get in touch with a Realtor in my farm area in Pennsylvania and ask for a list of MLS properties $25k or less that rent for at least $500 and she'd ask me to be more specific.There it isn't that hard to find listed properties that still can hit 3%.Fyi these are mostly B/C level areas and there really aren't any war zones even if you wanted to go to the worst part of town to milk a tiny bit more cashflow out of a place.

I realize that for anyone with the experience to answer the question intelligently I need to provide some contrast.

To contrast the uphill battle, your current knowledge would have to compete with folks like or similar to Bill and myself.

In one town near me they require a rating of 3-A: 40-B:C, so I just use that type everywhere now (other areas likely to copycat, and the few extra dollars upfront aren't going to kill me).GFCI in all areas where water can be normally found; bathroom, kitchen, laundry, garage, all outdoor outlets, etc.AFCI in bedrooms (mandatory by code in some areas).Address numbers on the house that contrast with the background (how will 911 find you otherwise).All bedrooms MUST have a window that goes to outside and is sized to allow for a person to escape.Locksets - no double-keyed deadbolts, where a key is needed on the inside as well as the outside (I only use those locks during rehab, where nobody is supposed to be sleeping).Railings and handrails.Identify the water shut-off valve by the water meter so that the tenants know how to shut off water in an emergency.That's all I remember off the top of my head ...

I really like the chair rails and kitchen color contrasts ( lighter cabinets , medium color counter tops , darker wood floors)Any plans for the basement ?

A big fish story against a backdrop of fishing fleets being in stark contrast to each other seems more like a big fish story opposed to a constant reality.

I think this detail really makes a huge difference , painting all of your moldings white really allows the contrast with the wall color and makes the space stand out.go to houzz.com . its a great site that you can look at hundreds of photos and styles of anything you search for. it can give you some really good ideas and may help you choose what will best fit your space.

It didn't cost one dime extra to buy contrasting colors and install a "checkerboard" pattern in a large kitchen, and our properties nearly always rented very quickly, with nothing but positive comments, ie.
