@John Matthew Johnston "Commercial lender" is a wide category.

Hi Cheryl, I don't own SFR's anymore, but when I did I included water in the rent and just increased the monthly rent by whatever my system-wide average for water usage was.

If the options are wide open for employment and you don't yet know where you'll land, just keep educating yourself on the fundamentals of real estate and what makes a good deal - that never changes.

I was showing a spot to someone a couple of months ago and they had a similar idea as you do Stanley and they pointed out the 2 foot wide window in the basement and I had to tell them that an appraiser/inspector will not consider that narrow window a form of egress.

Permits required vary widely based on the scope of work and city the property is located.For example, in West Allis, WI you must pull a permit to install a new bathroom vanity/toilet.

A standard refridgerator is wide enough to hold a 1/2 barrel and a pony keg and a 5 pound CO2 tank. 

I like to use Google to see how many search results come back which gives me an idea of what terms are most widely used. 

Maybe others are different, but I would caution folks to read the paperwork and not just cast wide opinions.

You might actually be able to come up with a creative solution that is not currently widely used. 

For purchase, 4 weeks.For portfolios, expect an extra 5-10 days.As for rates, this ranges widely, based on credit, property type, loan size, and LTV.
