For now, it's the basic ceiling dome lights but eventually I would add some more character... not necessarily for the ROI on rental amounts, but more so because I think it will help with the style.

The world starts to seem very small when you jump into a group and network of real estate investors, and everyone has their own style and ideas of what has or could lead to their success, however the world is much smaller when it comes to those that are doing this full time and have had rapid growth.  

I am having a lawyer draft the letter of non-renewal as she has vowed she is never moving the 4 times I have suggested she would be happier elsewhere because it is clear my management style is not to her liking.

Creating a holding company, LLC, business cards, websites, and all this other nonsense is like buying an indoor basketball court so you can pursue your dream of playing in the NBA . . . before you even try a pickup game to see if you are any good or like the sport.Buy an investment property and learn how to manage it.

In addition if you plan to rent by the room after you move out, check zoning because that style of rental is sometimes called a "rooming house" and regulated differently and may not be allowed where your home is.

. - Strict local regulations can also sometimes increase compliance-related maintenance costsCost-saving strategies I've seen help:- Preventative maintenance programs can help reduce overall costs obviously - Some investors report success with in-house maintenance teams for larger portfolios- Energy-efficient upgrades can help reduce utility costs in the long runYour specific costs will depend on factors like the age and condition of your properties, your management style, and the specific neighborhoods you're invested in, but hope this helps!

We're in the middle of renovating our mountain cabins now - adding game rooms, theatre rooms, and indoor swimming pools.

There are diverse activities year round from lake beaches, hiking, sightseeing, leaf changing tours, skiing, indoor waterpark resorts, outdoor parks, farms, zoos and historic areas.
