I just relay what my experiences have been for my investing style and criteria.

I have been listening to Life Style unlimited about investing in apartments in TX.

What is the style of the home?

I just want the life style that everyone else wants.

If it is the asphalt style asbestos siding which is badly deteriorated, you may want to book a "vacation" after you close and remove it yourself; dispose of it (obviously in compliance with your local and state laws.)  

I like your style.

Anyone know how to soundproof an up-down 2 family home?  I'm located in Rhode Island and my 1st floor tenant is worried about the noise from upstairs, mainly walking around seems to bother them.  I have about 8-9 feet...

Mimic their furniture style and arrangement.For the best outcomes, call a local stager in your area.

Just add a .com to that to check out their web site.They come in a couple of styles (brass, nickel, bronze) and configurations (deadbolt, handle, etc.).
