I would like to approach this topic in a different light that other people have not done yet. 

We plan on living in the first floor and doing some updating and light reno work.

Based on all this I decided I would be better off terminating this lease, doing some repainting/light work to the apartment and trying to get a new tenant that I can screen in the apartment. 

Hello all, I am just getting into the wholesaling game, and had some questions that hopefully some will be able to shed a little light on.

I've paid 4 contractors to install light switches in the kitchen ... and the dang light switches still didn't come out how I spec'd them to EACH one on paper. 

you can use a heat treatment but the best seems to be a ultraviolet light disinfectorit kills everything and that way you are not using chemicals or have any missesthese units you can rent they are not cheap but it does the job and it saves you from the exterminator feesthey are called true d uvthey use them in health care and hospitalsenjoy

I am also interested to see if the Link Light Rail extension will actually happen.

Once the kids are completely out of daycare, the light gets much brighter :).

Minor, mostly cosmetic stuff, maybe appliances, paint, carpet, hardware, light fixtures.

This week I have 2 sellers I'm meeting with. the first has a 3bd/1ba house from 1885 that needs EVERYTHING. he put in new walls. it needs floors raised, a kitchen, 2 ba, lights, etc. repairs were estimated at 49k by my contractor.
