With quality control what I mean is not the chefs making the dish right every time.

Along with reading through the forums, they're really helping with my understanding of this business.The people here have a tone of knowledge to dish out; utilize and take action steps! 

And stay right on top of them or in other words are members of the community were they invest and therefor has command and control .And those of you who happen to live in parts of the country were these low hanging fruit can partake successfully in this business should count themselves fortunate that these assets are so readily available to you within a 30 minute drive..I did not read anything that changed my mind that the 2% rule keeps prices from rising in any appreciable manner as value only rise's with rent increase's and rents are fairly stable in all these markets.Lastly as to class of asset being it A B C or D that is in the eye of the beholder, my C could be your D or visa versa .....Off to Milwaukee today then Chicago  Beer and Brats  Friday fish Fry, Deep dish pizza Miracle mile... should be a fun week on the road.Best to all

Around here, while fines are handed out, if they think money won't hurt you much, the will dish out time to make the point!

I'm just an eager beaver had my mouth all fixed for a tasty deal!

Using this formula I calculated my father bought the home for 68,500, which I understand would be my basis.It’s now worth about 940,000.As for improvements, the house has new roofing, bay windows, marble entryway, new fence, new pool heater, sprinkler system, satellite dish, security system, and I’ll put in new flooring.

I did find out that installers are not allowed to run new wire without the landlords permission though. http://www.fcc.gov/guides/installing-consumer-owned-antennas-and-satellite-dishes There is some case law: http://petriestocking.com/blog/2012/08/08/landlord-sues-the-dish-network-for-the-costs-to-remove-satellite-dishes-from-his-rental-property-and-wins/ I found this helpful webpage: http://free-landlord-help.winnfreenet.com/dish.phpBiggerPockets dosen't seem to like links to some websites, so you will have to cut and paste.

I literally decided 30 minutes ago when I was doing dishes how much I like it.

The "dish" in the corner of the living room is even more obvious, as is the condition of the tile.

Oh, one little tip if you do decide to re-tile a surround: in rentals, I do not install a soap dish on the long wall...instead I install on the wet wall (where the faucet is).
