I'm an officer in the Navy and I'll be moving to Oak Harbor in a few weeks.

Other than that it is laminate counter tops, golden oak cabinets, brass fixtures, 4 inch white tile baths, you get the idea... 2001.Based on my research of comps on rentals.com it is very obvious that there is a line somewhere of diminishing returns when updating a rental, but I haven't been able to exactly pinpoint it yet.

My thoughts are... that this property in not in Thousand Oaks...

Right now Home Depot has their Home Decorators waterproof flooring in Coastal Oak on sale for $1.89/sq ft.

I really like the area between 24th street-36th street and Camelback all the way south to about Oak Street...I always tell people (including myself) to become insanely good at analyzing deals, then learn how to go find them.

I hear the Oak Park area and certain parts of Del Paso Heights are improving so I'll begin looking in those areas and seek out some local agents that know the area well that might have visibility to some off market deals.I knew the 2% model that some in the Midwest are getting is totally unrealistic here.

I commute from Oak Park and listen to the BP podcast to and from work every day!

Hey Chad, Do you know much about the status of vacation rentals in the Village of Oak Creek?

>$100 Lagavulin 16 yr (peat), Highland Park 18 yr (balanced peat and oak) both of these are excellent.

We have a 4 flat in Oak Park, IL that we are considering and may need a 203K experienced contractor.
