Yep, and have them shoot the grade at about 1/4-1/2" a foot if possible so water doesn't run too fast washing out, use larger rock in base and fill cracks with smaller gravel....it's what we do around here....if you're guy doesn't know what he's doing, get someone who does for your terrain and soil type.

We use a grading system from 1 to 5.  1 being the worst with 5 matching so closely to the original construction that it is almost indistinguishable.

While I am focused on A-B grade neighborhoods to strike a balance between cash flow and minimize risk of vacancy/low quality tenants/& stagnant depreciation, I'm also interested in what investors are up to in lower grade markets (Goose Creek, Moncks Corner, West Ashley, North Charleston, etc.)

These codes to say buy certain grade windows and stuff will impose greater costs on the builders, rehabbers, etc... but in turn we will just pass the cost to the buyer.

And on that note I am going to stop before I wind up writing a book, plus I am having problems breathing again (Allergies) and need to call my pharmacy to see if I can get a refill of my meds (Inhaler) so I will keep everyone up to date as it comes along if that is alright?

In terms of the order of the exterior, it doesn't matter too much, but this is what I tend to do: - Termite and Pest Control - Roof - Siding/Trim/Sill Repair and Replacement - Soffit/Fascia Board Repair and Replacement - Gutters - Grading - Concrete Work - Decks/Porches - Landscaping - Fencing - Crawl Space - Garage Doors/Openers 3.

You can get a decent 2 bedroom for $140,000 -$150,000For that $570K you are talking about, he could get a 3,500 square foot up-grade house on 5 acres with a 7 mountain view.He won't see as many movie stars on the slopes of Mt Bachelor (we do have some living here), but he will see the US Olympic ski team and the US Olympic snowboard team doing their training.

It's unbelievable how much damage they can do and how disruptive they can be to a neighborhood.If you were near a serious college where students are there to study, you'd be safe to take graduate students and probably even upper classmen, if you had a grade point average requirement as part of your written criteria.

first I would say depend on the size of your pocket book ,ceramic tile for kitchen & bath yes granite is good,Hard wood floors is a better choice because it last much longer and more durable if carpets in good shape ad matches its surroundings keep it if not up grade make sure it fits your budget

ben, i think the design you selected is great and now you should place all your focus on the content and how visitors will navigate your site.to expand on jeffrey's comment, it's not immediately obvious what your company does. it wasn't until i got to the footer that i had a better understanding. but even the "about" page is not clear and concise and not talking on a fifth grade level "that utilize Contract Wholesaling to financially build our growing Real Estate portfolio which contains Buy and Hold properties for the use of Rentals throughout the country" and that is just the second part of a very long sentence. and as an opener, your "about" page is about you, and it should never be about you, it should be about your market. seth godin recently released a blog article about the "about" page, here's the link:http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2010/09/five-rules-for-your-about-page.htmli based my about page on seth's article.
