Before the lake house was built, I stayed at the farm but visited my garden home in the city maybe once every month or so.  

Looking to network with local Upstate investors to gain better knowledge of local groups, strategies concerning others experience with the upstate's continued population growth/trends, local deals (haven't seen too much in terms of multi-units, but again just beginning my introduction to this vertical) - just scratching the surface).Here's to creating new fruitful networks and successfully progressing into a challenging, yet fun and rewarding adventure.Keith

The largest MLS is the Garden State MLS (GSMLS) of which I'm a member of.

But it is best to at least account for mortgage, tax, insurance, maintenance, vacancy, capex, water, gardener, garbage.

Garden style?

I've spent hundreds of hours on the Loveland site and used it to select empty lots in areas along Woodward Ave and in Greenlawn, Indian Village, neighborhoods along the water, as well as a small handful in Grandmont East/West and Outer Drive East.A friend of mine has a passion for urban gardening, city rebuilding and a "frontier lifestyle" in rough areas - he's planning on moving to Detroit to create community gardens with a couple of organizations that are already there.

I understand painting, cleaning, changing light bulbs etc...but Why would missing door knobs, bathroom safety handles, broken closet doors, mini and vertical blinds, dishwasher and stove bad enough to warranty new units, all of this went unnoticed?

Photo tips.Br,, remove curtain rods and put up vertical blinds that are like 64" long not floor length.

I don't expect to have any outside work for AT LEAST the next two months, so next week I'll be up on a roof doing the "delightful" job of removing shingles on one of my rentals, followed by a bunch of painting & gardening.

In vertical construction, you can get an estimate based on the home you want to build (ie 150 USD per sqf for average, 200 for higher end construction depending on the market you're in).
