Don't cut the corner on this one to save money.

I'm looking at the asset and RE as a store of wealth (as part of my overall investment portfolio) to pass onto my kids.

No, they have a deep understanding of their customers and place stores where the customers want to shop to maximize sales and profits.

Maybe sign your own lease (from Wisconsin Legal Blank, store in Milwaukee or order online) but keep it MTM.Also, a little brokerage 101: when you ask for something in an offer, always make sure it is specific, with a deadline and includes consequences.

Most believe that a Bargain is a discount on the price of something at the time it was purchased.For instance, if a pair of shoes is selling for $50 when another store is selling it for $100.. yes!

Two store fronts and two apartments. 

While that is probably true, it would also wash out the grocery store where his food comes from and the neighborhood would look like 

When you do your first renovation, the last thing you want to do is to cut corners.

Is that per TV or cover the whole house.I have upscale vacation rentals so I'm personally not cheating out by not providing cable channels.I even put this in my ads. " If other properties aren't even providing cable channels, what other corners are they cutting?

I'm asking specifically because I am thinking about throwing a treadmill or elliptical machine in the living room if the person wants to exercise a little while they're there.The unit isn't huge (around 1k sq feet) and it will probably look tacky, but I was wondering if other people have found value in providing some simple exercise equipment, even if it seems out of place.Hi Brandon, exercise equipment can be a great differentiator, but I'd suggest a compact setup in a dedicated corner rather than dominating the living room.
