There has been a dramatic increase in listings, but if you keep your rental nice and kind of unique/stylish, it's likely not a bad investment idea.The city/region has a major issue right now regarding hotel/short-term rental availability.

Even if the center is all concrete, adding some planter boxes with flowers on the side walk will go a long way towards curb appeal. 4. 

I'm in the midwest so I don't know temps, but is it warm enough there yet to put out a few large planters with flowers, outside? 

I'd think it would be better to have a large master in the basement, with a modern and stylish bathroon, than to just have little bedrooms upstairs.The only thing I would be certain of would be that the damp was 100% controlled.

The guy who plays the French Planter-Emile is such a fabulous singer that the women in the play get a bit weak-kneed whenever he sings "One Enchanted Evening".We're about an hour west of Austin and an hour and a half north of San Antonio.Come on up and watch us.

Ikea furniture is what I would call economically stylish - it looks ok and doesn't hit the pocketbook too hard but if I'm buying a trendy high end condo, I'm certainly looking for nicer furniture than I can get at Ikea.

Both buildings have hedges that are planted into planters that are 12"-20" wide and wrap around the entire perimeter of each building.

Ditch the ugly old ones and look for stylish new oversized mirrors to create the feel of dramatically larger spaces and more light.

Myself and a partner are currently about halfway though our flip.it was originally intended as a buy and hold but we decided we would be better of to flip it due to it not being entirely suited as a rental (on a huge yard that needs alot of maintenance and a little out of town).so we decided to sell it,and I will but my half of the money into another property,but rent and hold it.Anyway were currently unsure about some things and i thought it would be a good idea to come on here and ask.when we are finished,the house will be a 3 bed,two bath with a finished basement.However,we are really stuck on how much things we should update.we are in Northern BC,Canada and winter is coming fast.My partner (matt) wants to just finish up ASAP and just get it to OK standards (put in the new floor,paint the old kitchen cabinets,finish up the bathrooms and what else needs to be done and put it up for sale during the winter.Problem is that houses dont sell very fast here in the winter and can sit on the market for a long time which dosnt look good,and you tend not to make as much on them.Also...the house has stucco which is ugly as sin...the house was built in the 70's (and im sure was very stylish back then!)
