Discounts to a gym, 1800 blinds, and home depot.

Its blind of race, religion, sexual orientation, height, weight and all of the other words we use to describe who  we are and what our societal manifesto is. 

That is why I hate it.Most importantly and no offense to your buddy helping you out.NEVER "just" listen to anyone blindly to do DMM or anything this important really.Also chances are they are not in your market so its risky to have someone else help.This DMM is way too expensive.

Don't just absorb from people you THINK they are an expert and blindly follow.You know what the reason is in MY opinion letters, even the creepy ones .. like an eerie lellow letter written in blood... work?

Don't just send a mailer that everyone else is using because most people follow everyone else blindly and don't think of these things.  

Yup your in one of those markets when you have 50,000 vacant homes even a blind squirrel can find deals LOL.. simply cant do that in many other markets were you have NO vacant homes.. its highly regional 

You would not catch me dead again in a house that just drained money out of my pocket like the townhouse next to the mall with the HOA robbing me blind. 

We will be 1st time home buyers and I dont want to go in blind looking for all the input and doing as much research as possible.

Trim color different than walls.Vertical blinds on large windows vs vinyl horizontal.Permanent LED lighting.Laminate floors where possible vs vinyl sheetgoods.New doors and hardware if standard size and therefore easy to change.Lock on front door with keypad and/or bluetooth.Paint garage floor.

Are you saying I should just blindly look the other way on a piece of real estate that I have nearly 200K of my money into, when my tenant could be in violation of the lease agreement, which could put me at legal and financial risk?
