Granite is quite effective as it is scratch, stain and chip resistant.

You can find some duplexes in Fair Oaks, Carmichael to downtown and possibly Elk Grove but not many other areas I'd consider. 

Hello,How can I tell whether or not the property that I'm renting have a tenant occupancy certificate, the reason being it's a lot of work that has not been completed, I have questions and sent pictures to the landlord  the address in 413 Charter Oak Ave Baltimore Md. 21212 your help would greatly appreciated also the heat does not work and there's no running water in the basement literally the house need major repairs did not notice a lot of the issued until I moved in. 

One of their contractors said new cabinets would run the kitchen up to 12k at least, and recommended a refinish job (the oak doors at least are in good condition) for about 7k including the quartz and the sink. 

The only negative about the house I used to live in is no master bath per se which is a turnoff for some people - but everything in the house has been updated - whereas most in the price range I'll sell for are dated or just have the basics done to them (by updated - new siding, windows, high end oak trim, new opened up kitchen and not the cheap crap, new driveway - gigantic patio - gas line for grill outside, sprinkler system etc etc.)Anyways best of luck

Leverage current market rates (20-30 year) as a bargaining chip to advocate for a more favorable interest rate.

Regal Oaks)?

I’m presuming Mary is interested in investing somewhere in or near Walnut Creek since she wants to be close to work  Walnut Creek is ten fold more landlord friendly than cities like Berkeley, Oak, SF, etc.

So, there is less rent-inflation.3. 5 minutes to OAK International Airport, California's fourth largest airport.4.

We went with pine and oak primarily as we are in north Idaho.
