Eliminate the carpet and drapes from your units- install commercial vinyl tile (NOT the cheap-assed peel and stick type!)

And when NOTHING will work it's necessary to make sure that you kept some decent sized pieces of carpet left over from the installation.

Some great advice here.I would also like to ad that I buy full kitchens and bathrooms off craigslist and offerupnow for a fraction of the price of installing a brand new one.I only buy materials which look new.Recently I bought a kitchen with granite bench tops and all appliances for $700.

I have bush hogged a 1/2 acre of bamboo , installed lots of drainage , replaced 4 water lines to houses , tore down that building , rototilled 11 lawns , cut my lawn and field . plowed snow (great for walks) .

That being said, I'm starting to use laminate everywhere on all my newly acquired buy-and-hold properties since I can get it for 0.39-0.89/sqft and install it myself very quickly.

As to the debt to income ratios, yes, payments on any installment loan having 6 months or more remaining any real estate loan with a balloon will be considered.

I have used the cutting attachments a lot for trim adjustments when doing flooring or small shaves when installing doors on an old house that isn't plumb.

They have good deals because the pricing is per foot/ installed and it's really not that bad of a price!

Basically, everything is done except for refinishing the hardwood floors, installing light fixtures, bathroom accessories (mirrors, towel bars, etc) and we are still waiting on the quartz counter tops for the kitchens and bathrooms to be delivered.
