yes. but spend the money now (especially if you can do some of the work) and it will be cheaper in the long run (once they are in, i have to hire contractors to get it done faster)2. good tenants - easier said than done. the quality of your rental will dictate the type of tenants you get. give them unit with stains and you will receive a unit with 10 times more stains. do your homework, get references, learn how to interview the applicants. it's an art, you just have to watch their body language, their questions, their car (is it clean, but not always an indication)3. respond to calls, check up on your properties. change the filters regularly. do not charge for changing a light bulb. treat them with respect until they stop paying.that's it, really..

Couches, rugs, plants, table to eat, art, pots, pans, and silverware are a few of the things I provide so that potential housemates can envision moving in easily.

It is slowly becoming a new Arts District, but it may be too early to tell if it will catch on.

Today, I hear that the seedy parts of NYC that I would never have been caught alive such as the formerly infamous Red Hook is now FULL of art galleries and lofts.

I'm partial to Everbooked myself but also feel like it really is an art form to get it right. 

(I like MFR)-It's got some great stuff going for it - one of the best medical facilities in THE WORLD, two of the best sports teams in the country (Cavs and Indians), rock and roll hall of fame, several fortune 500 HQ's, a flourishing arts/culture/music scene, and the infrastructure of what was once one of the richest cities in the world. 

It involves choosing a skilled sports handicapper and understanding how to bet (there's an art to betting, especially with exploring the options of parlay, over/under, spread bets, if bets and straight bets).

I work in the centre of Brussels (Kunst-Wet / Arts-Loi) during the day on weekdays, so if any of you cares to grab some coffee in Brussels around noon or in the evening feel free to send me a private message!

we use art labels. different art for different seasons... makes it look very personal.

My workout is at the gym for cardio and my martial arts training.
