She looks at rooms that sometimes can cost thousands to decorate, and does a knock off for hundreds, etc., and you can't tell the difference for the most part.

I personally describe my fireplaces as 'decorative fireplace' , that can't be used.

We also put a good quality decorative rod up in the living room and basic double rods in the bedrooms.

@Graham Mink the exact same unit but not an end unit and a lousy decorating scheme rented for $1295 but it took a couple of months.

Have you contacted an interior decorator for a walk through?

So I just completed my first spec build.....I oversaw the project, my girls were in charge of the basic construction, and my wife took care of the decorating...Happy Holidays BP Nation!!!!!

I love designing and decorating =)

Don't give cheap packages of lights to your SFR tenants, but do let them do their own decorating within reason.Excerpt from our rental agreement rules:HOME DECORATING: ...........

@Samia BinghamSamia - Would you be able to elaborate any more on the present setup you are involved in/have the option to purchase.This type of investment interests me quite a bit as locally it seems to be a niche that could be filled, I'm sure plenty of other locales this works in as well besides established markets.What I'm interested in, are rents paid (if you know the ranges possibly) roughly the space someone gets for the rent, what perks they get -- is there coffee, virtual receptionist -- how is the office decorated/set up - any furniture supplied by landlord, can you pay online, terms of leases, bathroom set up -- do the tenants have to pay for web access or utilities, housekeeping, any fights/spats between neighbors, what type of tenants make up the mix.Really any insight from your experience would very much be appreciated.  

My wife is a home maker so she listens to me talk about real estate but loves the cats and decorating and seeing her mom.
