I ran electrical for the tv to be mounted in the living room and usb plugs where I'll be mounting a "coffee bar" on the kitchen side of the fireplace.

I initially was looking at Kensington as there is a lot of development in that area but from what I read, this is still a very rough area north of Lehigh Ave.In terms of the specific area of Germantown, I am looking for some advice/guidance from other investors, but I am familiar with the West Oak Lane area and areas closer to Mount Airy and have been focusing my early search in these areas. 

One guy put his wall mounted large screen TV up and moved it twice, the holes were huge.

I have had a growing number of investors who have previously only bought South Philly start migrating up towards the NW of Philly towards Germantown, West Oak Lane, and Mount Airy. 

He mounted a TV and when the mount was removed he repatched, however he expects me to paint it.

Rocky Mount (to the east) is one that comes to mind that is popular with investors.  

I like the wall-mounted solution, above.  

I think you would also need to check your local laws about normal wear and tear as I know in the cities I do business in, I could ask that they limit nail holes, even make it a lease term, but it would likely not be enforceable if they did it, anyway, unless it moved beyond normal wear and tear, like leaving a huge hole from a TV wall mount or something.  

Amy,I've not used them with steam heat, but have used them with hydronic (hot water) systems - both the old-fashioned wax-plug/mechanical kind and the newer, electronic types.Many of the newer electronic one allow the the use of a remotely mounted thermostat and some can even be programmed for set-back times (i.e. during the work day or at night).When compared to manual radiator valves, and the humans who will not remember to adjust them, either kind of thermostatic valve will save you energy and money, but the newer electronic ones with remote thermostats/sensors and, optional programability, will save more.
