If this is your first purchase, Remember it is also okay to pick your closest metro as a starting place.

Try to pick things where replacement pieces are possible and easy. i ill add that I put in some games we really like as a family, they went missing over a couple of months.

There is a lot to understand, so pick up a good book. 

April is a safe month to "play the market" if you will, because the market starts picking up as a whole then but, a good reliable tenant to me always seems better than making a few hundred more a month.

Thank God the utilities weren't more expensive.So let's agree to disagree and count it as a lesson of doing business and picking the right people to be on your team! 

Although not everyone, they pick and choose who they charge what to.

Not to say that you'd pick crappy materials, but contractors with experience have manufacturers and suppliers that they know guarantee their products and that helps them know they can stand behind their work. 

to go back to my first point, though, i generally can't pick - it can take months and months to find a deal. 

I would advise picking one of those strategies and rolling with it.

will all hinge on tenant not beating it up in that neighborhood.
