As I read how others have acquired rental properties, they almost always mention that investors are stuck with 4 conventional loans before they have to get into some creative financing and so their advice is to buy the most expensive properties early - in those first 4 slots.

After that run a heavy steel floor roller over it.

The only problem they had was that the old steel mill went out a business, but the communities rebounded with gradual small imputus from the the retail and construction sectors.

Colors look really nice, I totally agree with grey tones and the modern feel, flows really nicely with the stainless steel appliances as well!

Basic stuff you should have, good simple tool belt, 2 good pencils, 16oz claw hammer, 2 flat tip and 2 Philips screw drivers (lots of things you can do and get done before messing with power drivers)  16'+ steel case tape, retractable utility knife with blades, 2 1/2" putty knife. small nail bar, small mag light, safety glasses, steel toed shoes/boots with thick soles to bend nails over instead of sinking them in your foot.

I am 27 yr old USMC veteran, currently working  at Ak Steel in Ashland, ky.  

Granite counter tops, good cabinets and stainless steel appliances and lighting are always show stoppers. 

I work for a local Property Management Company and we use Peters and Steel.

No question, my first cosmetic fix up here is the stainless steel fridge. 

These are 2' x 6' door cut outs made of steel or fiberglass with foam in between.
