The electrician tells her its a common problem in older houses (this one was built in the 1940s) and the way to get around it is put a copper wire between the ground terminal and the neutral terminal in the outlet.

Post your pictures and post some of the rentals in the area and their rental amount.Personally, I like to go for the higher end renter without over investing.At a minimum you'll need to:Install a a new compressor is about $2500 and a cage $450.Paint the interior 2 - 3 colors - pick favorite neutrals and stick with them so it's easier to maintain.

Generally you will see 13% off the BPO Value and the BPO is done my a neutral Broker generally.

To you old salts, gender neutral :),As an investor with 25+ years experience and a portfolio of single-family detached houses that have been rented and managed through those years while holding down an 8 to 5 office job, I am inquiring from those of you who have transitioned out of the 8 to 5 rat race into full-time living off your investments how you did it.

I'm very fortunate not to have any debt, but even though I'm good about saving money, it's not doing much good just sitting in my checking account, so I'd like to neutralize my living costs and start some cashflow.I'm primarily interested in multi-unit properties I could live in and rent out to offset the mortgage, though I'm a bit wary of becoming a landlord.

Colors can be easily changed out.... and I always replace everything neutral. 

You might consider painting the home, or at least rooms that are painted bold colors, a neutral color that does not make them seem too big or too small.

I agree with a lot of the comments here - that no credit is not as bad as poor credit.In our screening process, we have built "no credit" into our scoring system:They score nothing for the category "credit score"But they get a high score on "payment history"These sort of wash each other out, giving the applicant a "neutral" score that is then influenced by other categories.This has seemed to work well for us overall, and we don't have too many problems with people who don't have credit history - it is often a reflection of good budgeting, especially in older individuals.

Some inspectors seem to make everything sound like a big risk item, others are very neutral letting the reader judge every risk.

The benefit of immediate expensing of business investment operates as a more beneficial and more neutral substitute for the deduction of interest expense associated with debt incurred to finance such investment.
