The US empire might be at the end of it's period, similar like the antique Rome.

I did one property in a duplex nice, but nothing fancy, the other side I called the Bunkhouse and put all kinds of Cowboy ornaments in it, like tables with horse legs, western logwood couch and bed, wagon wheels, varnished pine baseboard and trim, stainless steel appliances, hickory hardwood floors, antique oak hutches and dressers,walk in tiled shower with horses depicted on the shower curtain, elk antler lamp and mirror, etc. 

The home is a beautiful antique colonial in a very desirable, upper middle class, new england town that my husband spent 5 years renovating while we lived there.

He runs a property management co along with his realty so I know everything will be handled well.I am into refinishing antiques and so the idea of taking something back to its shining glory is HUGE for me.

Need some advice on what to do with this kitchen.My plan is to do the rest of the house in an Antique White eggshell and a more high gloss brighter white on the trim.

My wife use to work for Columbia Helicopters right there and we're not much further than all the antique shops down 99.

so I would take such antiquated advice cautiously.Examples: Notice how he is only looking at the monthly cost of the car, and immediately assuming it is reliable since it is relatively newer.

Check out the business model of Florence antique mall. 

The way I see it is if the tenant is paying high gas and electric bills, that's less money they'll have for the rent (and we all know who gets paid first in the utilities vs. landlord struggle).No, I wouldn't install a Bosch tankless water heater (like we have in our personal residence) in a rental home, but I wouldn't put in a circa 1943 boiler that I found in the antique section of Craigslist for $25 either.

The other problem is that it's basically a large antique, we've spent a lot of time and money putting the pieces together with as much integrity as possible and I'm scared of what (especially a commercial) renter would do to the place.
