Still, putting random door knob stops in the dining room seems a bit low class even for my level of renting.  

Look for higher SF homes with additional living areas (large dining room, or living room and family room) that are easily broken into additional bedroom or even a 1 bath property with a big laundry room that can be converted into an extra bath.

Also buy the largest house you can afford with a layout that will allow you to add bedrooms by closing off a family room or dining room, so you have more rooms to rent out.

You can decorate a 1 bedroom apartment (living, dining, bedroom, TVs, art, desk, etc) for under $2000 delivered.

My big expenses are always travel & dining. 🤣 2019: Nairobi, Kenya (Safari, spas etc), all over Nigeria (good times with family), Bahamas, Paris/France, Los Angeles/San Francisco (same trip), Denver/Boulder (same trip), London, Amsterdam...and more!

I had to literally wine and dine the ladies at naca to have them recommend the buyers even look at my properties.. its was extortion at applebee's  LOL... its OK I sold two of my OREOs in the worse market imaginable and for top dollar even with the 10k buy down.. 

Kitchen (not replacing cabinets right now...just repaint, and new hardware/flooring)Play room for daughter (carpet/paint/recessed lighting)Office/3rd bedroom (the walls have wallpaper on them...so I sanded the seams, and spackled over them.....holy nightmare...never had so much spackling in my lifeDaughters bedroom...spackle again :banghead: Bathroom....new vanity, mirror, lighting, toilet, spray tile, white granite floor, recaulk, new fixtures....Dining room with the floor from hellSee all these little staples?

Affected the MBR, the MBR closet, dining room and family room.

When we put ceramic tile in the kitchen and dining area I did 90%.I finally got my partner to agree to a buyout and owned it for another 7 years, good cashflow the entire time and free and clear the last 2 years.

Look at a company called elegant themes theme name div2.
