Also, these days, many tenants do not come with dining room tables and prefer to eat on the couch in their living/family room.

The Park is what initially drew investment and lodging here of course, but the attractions, retail, dining, etc is what has increased the visitation and created a different type of vacationing experience.

I once managed an upscale - but dated - house with white carpet in the dining room that was over 30 years old.

The kitchen, dining area, and bath have radiant floor heat so the floors are toasty warm in winter in that part of the house.In researching tile, vinyl, and laminate (which I question in a rental now) it dawned on me that polishing the concrete floors might be an option!

Open living area with custom railings, tiled fireplace, and dining open to large deck.

Many different strategies you can use by converting attic space, living room, dining room in to additional bedrooms for more rental income.

Wholesalers have been wined and dined for the last 6 months, it's time for the investors to get the meat on the bone now.

There's a hotel within walking distance from my home, providing guests with easy access to beachfront dining.
