I have quite a few tattoos and I do believe they should be covered to prevent making clients feel uncomfortable but with summer being right around the corner, does anyone have any style tips for staying cool but having your arms covered?

A living room can have an area rug - they make plain carpet styles that are easy to replace if they become stained.

Of course nothing is for free, but if there are any house flippers or renovators in the Southeast Texas area who needs another pair of hands in exchange for teaching me what they know, i.e. budgeting, costs, style and renovation.A little about myself, I am a father of four living just outside of Port Arthur.

Strive to get at least 3 comps within a half mile radius, same number of bed/bath, +/- 10% of sq ft, same style, amenities, etc.

If it were mine I (MIGHT) spray it white, and put shutters on it and add windows in place of the boarded up openings.As well as add a see through commercial style door on both ends of the hallway (rape and other attack prevention) if the area called for it.Cement a few park style BBQ's into the ground on each side (split them up to prevent tenants arguing) and park style trash cans chained to the ground (with lawn personnel responsible for changing out the bags).A repave and paint of the lot (might be a lender requirement).A commercial awning with WELCOME on it (in a bad neighborhood not everyplace seems welcome).The building name and address (easy for Police and visitors to read from the road).Some leasing signs and good look at the roof regarding replacement (for leaks) because the building looks neglected.Good bright lighting (up high on the building) around the building and parking lot at night, and no bushes (hiding places for attackers).I said (MIGHT) above, because I'd need to take a drive around the area and see the competition, to decide what I wanted to offer to make the building competitive without overspending.Also, I'd do that drive and crunch the numbers on it before being locked into a purchase contract for it, because it might be a pass instead of a buy.
