Is there a way to invest in VYM where I can put up a wall so that I don't have easy access to sell it? 

Take a Car dealership  on the wall is the picture of the top sales folks everyone working there gets the same opportunities ..

My list includes - last 2 years employment history and current employment [2 paystubs], criminal checks, eviction checks, No Pets, No smoking, tenant pays utilities, maintains landscape, no subleasing, bring own washer & dryer, 1 month security deposit and transfer of utilities before moving in, rental insurance, all occupants will be on lease, notice period of 2 months for termination, tenant references, No cosigners, no painting walls, late fee notice, any hoa fines should be paid by tenant, inspection of property at 3, 9 and 12 months.Please let me know if I am missing anything.3.

I have redone the foundation, all new electric, all new plumbing (PVC to the street), all new kitchen, added a bath, new flooring, all new windows/doors, updated all insulated while walls were open for electrical, new furnace/AC, new siding.

We had a neighbors tree fall on our yard and took out our fence and a retaining wall - we had to go through our insurance.

While we do have some exterior work to do (some landscaping, a new retaining wall, and repaving the driveway) the house is ready to be rented or could be sold.

Every Wall Street guy will tell you emotions make for poor decisions.

Companies like TSMC and Intel are investing billions into new facilities, and it's creating a real surge in housing demand.One of my clients was set on investing in Philly but decided to explore Phoenix after we talked.From what I read in The Wall Street Journal, Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing cities right now.

As well as getting some colorful artwork on the walls for a splash of color will help listing stand out and feel more inviting.All the best!

Changing whole buildings over isn't always practical (or prudent) and we will be running buildings profitably with galvanized pipes in the walls for the rest of my career.
