I've got a good idea about much of the cosmetic stuff, and I know that your market is different but a round about number per window with labor would be awesome for an estimation on the property. 

One of the reasons I am looking gin areas that have 12 months vacation seasons, is to make sure the rental will stay occupied all year round.

The great news is that I've had a 40% response rate after only two rounds with a few motivated sellers, however I need advice on what to do with the following response I received from an owner that I consider a reach but still "on the fence".Chris...I just want you to know that I wont be selling the lot.

A belated welcome from Round Rock!

Thanks everyone. that is some great well-rounded advice!

Those who invest without considering the emotional investment and what-ifs usually add them into round two or three of their portfolios.  

I do the round trip to show my displeasure with the requirement (and the fact that they were charging inactivity fees without informing me) and to demonstrate that it will have no effect on how often I use the accounts for substantial business.

But, it has also made me wonder when the merry-go-round ends for the leverage-til-you-drop group. 

It has its own quarter round and staircap (bullnose) moldings, among others.  

Do. you have a year round market?
