Most service their own paper offering better terms and lower up front fees.

I've been keeping paper receipts in folders all year (gutted and rehabbed them), didn't really have the time earlier to do anything else with them.

Just be aware that you have 100 no’s before you get a yes and that yes needs to make sense on paper.

Poghkeepsies is a lure to many rei on paper but it is very fickle.

Each bedroom, each bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, walls, pots and pans and glasses and dishes and sheets and towels and blankets and decorative stuff and pictures and perhaps exterior stuff like patio furniture.

Let me try and answer these questions first as it should not be as intensive in regards to the length of my answers...I directed traffic with ads... from the city newspaper (which also would add to the internet), to the thrifty nickel newspaper, to craigslist, through military paper, through word of mouth, through my business cards, etc...

For this, I have to compare my condition or projected condition to competing rentals, how long an improvement will last, (Granite counter-tops versus an upgraded toilet paper holder) the trends in the market place, such as what tenants appear to be trending toward liking, how popular a particular item is, and wether I might get only the same rent as I would have, but possibly just get a better tenant.Those are all bottom-line, figuring out the net dollars concerns.2) How much time and aggravation it saves me:Here, I go beyond just how many net dollars in extra rent I'll collect, versus the cost of improving, and I consider how much extra time it takes me to wait another week to rent it, or possibly how much time I waste dealing with a "b" quality tenant, when for an extra $1,000 worth of upgrades, I might have attracted an "a."

@Stephanie Dupuis hit it right on the nail, legally your offer is dead unless you have an AOS (agreement or sale) or whatever term you want to use for it, that states otherwise.However, it doesn't sound like you used any paper work.

and remember...talk to REAL people and do your homework before investing in Trenton. don't get fooled by a smile..and yes yes yes just so you can sign the papers and then get trapped.Thanks all.

A cheap(usually free) route is to look for the legal section in your local news paper.
