But that left a good "taste in my mouth" for real estate, as the equity I ended up cashing out with was pretty good, even with doing everything retail.

I already have a management company in place in Cincinnati, too, so if I bought more investment property it would be out there, here in Seattle the market is too competitive, inventory is too low, and too expensive for my taste.

I do upgrades but am very careful that they are upgrades for my house and not the tenants "taste". 

When working with investors, its less about getting an understanding of their individual tastes, rather looking at the properties needs and then choosing materials and finishes that lend themselves to the style and character of the home.

So it will be tasting, pints, and bottle fills available on site- BYOF-Bring your own food!

Second the rents in the area for a 3b/2ba are $1150.00.Elliot Mendoza I am perfectly happy waiting to eat a better tasting cake!

Clean and maintained should be your expectation, whatever's cheapest and durable should be your "taste level". :) I would get the best looking but cheapest and sturdiest flooring I could find that works with your subfloor.

I've found that once I got a taste of REI, I really enjoyed it and am not working to replace my salary with my investment property income.

This doesn't include the actual installation.Obviously I'm not doing commercial work, but I can send you an example of these drawings on a larger scale so you can get a general taste for what you may expect to get.

Had a bad experience with one of the big guru's salesmen a few years back and it put a bad taste in my mouth towards REI.
