Other than the tenant loosing the hardware to secure their own flat panel, do you see any issues with a permanent flat panel mount in a rental of this type?

Just what I have noticed as little hardware pieces and tools and extra labor and other crapola tend to bring costs up about 20 to 30 percent of my initial estimates on just about every project I do.

I'd like to extend the cost of the water to the lot renters by submetering each unit and sending them a bill (or having a third party do it) I was wondering, who has done this, how much I'm looking at spending, are permits needed, where can I go about getting the best deal on hardware (should I use a wireless meter which gathers data 4 times a day that I can review from home?)

I would paint the walls a bright neutral and cabinets white and change out the hardware to a silver (handles and hinges)

You'll be lighter in the wallet and more experienced.

I´m in :).Hardware failures can go fatal but now we back online.

Plus I kind of like the idea of only doing it when they are late, charging all of the extra fees so it stings quite their wallet quite a bit.

As a first time investor (looking to hold onto the house long term) this would be hard on my wallet. $95 was good piece of mind.

Just a fabulous counter top and hardware.

I don't know when we, Americans, are going to open up our wallets and spend like we used to allowing the economy to take off.
