It's garden tools, ice scrapers, lamps, ropes, rugs and gasoline that kill people.

Mainly, style and type of cabinets, rugs, paint, light fixtures (easy for me since I sell those)?

Another bonus is if tenants really want the carpet feel they end up getting rugs.

Either on purpose, by pulling the lever on the vent, or accidentally, by blocking them with furniture, rugs, etc.Some people think that if the house is too cool, the way to fix it is to not touch the thermostat and close some vents.I use the pleated paper filters that cost about $1.50 each, but I do have a newer system at my rent house - the furnace and A/C are both about 3 years old.

I used to live on Long Island but commuted to Boston for work, so I would take the Orient ferry every week.

The OP is invested in different markets, but the thinking and orientation should be similar- how to get into the best locations with value added potential property.

That's my default orientation.

We might leave a battered linoleum kitchen floor but replace the living room rug for example.

There are several who may do very well in this market, but several are rather guru oriented and don't convey what can be a legal matter in financing sales or justifying values.

I prefer the philosophy of a few dollars of sunk cost within the protection of a herd to that of the rugged individualist.
