I did order an appraisal a couple of weeks ago, so I should have the report back within a few days - this will serve the dual purpose of a pricing reality check as well as suppporting evidence at the upcoming ARB property tax review.  

Let's face it, the listing agent is more inclined to get a deal done if they are acting as a dual agent.

I have replaced countless switches before, but this dual switch is giving me problems.

I then make an offer with the seller's agent acting as dual agent.You can get incredible deals this way.  

The city code lady is calling it "low voltage wiring" but my reading on the low voltage wiring described nothing which sounded like a camera system.Your thoughts?

Get dual ant bait stations (with protein and sweet bait in them).

Roomies and the "engaged and we're getting married someday" have figured out the benefits of a dual income household in a bed house that rents for just 100-200 bucks more a month than a 1 bedroom apartment.

Insulating is a good thing to do in all cases and is low cost.If you need to replace a glass or window, that's the time to upgrade as the marginal addition cost improves the property value - - talking about dual or triple pane retro fit windows here.When restoring after a fire, even though only four windows were blown out, I replace ALL in both units as upgrades and the contractors were already onsite.

HIGH ROI on paper generally speaking for anyone who does not live in the market = high risk  that is true in all major MSA  this is why the folks that are buying Morris invest homes will see a rocky road in the future its the area .. forget about whether the house was actually rehabbed or not. ( as some have complained about.Most go through this learning curve.. thats why I like where Chris Clothier has taken his company higher end assets that have dual exits.. and he is not out there touting 12 to 15% returns. his numbers are realistic and if you want to own rentals own solid ones.But don't beat yourself up you did not know what you did not know.. there is a place for section 8 housing and a bullet proof PM is critical.

Replace old 1.6gpf toilets or retro fit with a dual flush system for $30.
