Those look like perfect links for me, Dawn.

@Dawn Young If you can find the right piece of land, then you could start out small and grow.

Then it dawned on me, there is still something basic I have no idea on.

Hi Dawn, Thanks for the share.

Quote from @Dawn Brenengen: In off market properties I brought my clients, my buyers have usually paid the commission.  

I know this isn't a home improvement forum, but I am so happy with the result in the kitchen that I had to share some before and after pictures.As this is my first rental property and a unit I've owned and neglected for 8ys, it felt great to finally get some improvements done and put me one step closer to maximizing the value of a unit located in a rapidly improving market.Before: small galley kitchen, old single-pane window, textured ceiling with dated fixture, lineoleum, ceiling holes from the bathroom renovation upstairs and chasing a tub leakAfter: opened the wall, removed the valence, IKEA cabinets/countertop, repurposed shelves from another room, donated subway tile, free dishwasher and stove (donated from friend that just upgraded,) recessed lightning on a dimmer switch, $300 fridge (thanks Craigslist)

For faux stainless, we pay under $1500 for frige, range, dishwasher and microwave- Replace all the light fixtures (no fluorescents) and plumbing fixtures and make sure they all match- Replace all the outlets, switches and cover plates with new white ones- Put mini-blinds on all the windows

Meaning it has no cabinets, counters, sink, fridge, stove, or dishwasher.

Bigger property means bigger roofs, 4 furnaces and condensing units, 4 fridges, stoves, dishwashers etc.  

Don't forget about capital expenditures (Cap Ex-replacing worn out items-dishwasher, water heater, etc).
