@Keith W.I don’t think how much you paid is relevant your selling price and rom you have for negotiations are key but that is also for more in-depth considerations.

I think you would be better off send each tenant a Holiday bouquet or basket than lights.

If you need help, I can send u an automatic searchf rom mls to your email, so you can see the movement on that area.

I only invest in either private pre-sales of pre-development properties at a substantial discount compared to their market value and launch price and rom a developer who I personally know, has a great track record and give me cheap developer financing by Mexican standards.

PS I've found leaving a bouquet of flowers on the bed ($6 at trader Joe's ) is one of the most mentioned highlights of my reviews.The obvious downside has everyone points out, is that you're only one vote away, whether that be HOA or city council, from being obsolete.

Spec would be fine just trying to get some bids from contractors and a ROM build cost.

My husband is actice duty navy and we move a rom.

@Mark Doty One good resource I used to learn about insurance and various aspects of it was Every Landlord's Property Protection Guide: 10 Ways to Cut Your Risk Now (book w/ CD-Rom).

That way you could have more prep and storage without taking up much rom in that small kitchen. 

There's two packages one is the Home study package for $59 which includes a CD-ROM containing a slide presentation and Study guide with over 150 pages of review material and 45 days of access to the EZprep website.
