A Rent Controlled Area.

Given the area of Del Cerro, we used high end finishes throughout and every detail was carefully picked out from the door knobs to the iPad control station to Bose surround sound throughout the house to LED mirrors to the Versailles travertine floors to the wall hung toilets to the custom cabinets w/ granite countertops, etc...Nothing was left untouched!

So with that said – you might want to take it slowly – that is--- keep your job--- and accelerate your learning and exposure to real estate investing and begin your transition to a position that will able you to control real estate and profit from your activities ONE DEAL AT A TIME!

If it passes inspections make sure you have rodent control in place and clean your gutters & roof regularly, do annual tree trimming etc.
