So now bring in the electrician to dig a trench and run new 220v cables from junction box to the pump EXCEPT by now the pool is disgusting because there's no pump clearing out the water... the city actually can charge a penalty for having a "dark" pool due to safety issues of a kid falling in and no being able to see the bottom...so, we had to drain the pool extra cost about $300 or so if I remember. 2)  So now after draining the pool, putting in the new pump with new wiring and re-filling the pool with thousands of gallons of water that isn't free (not too mention I live in CA with the drought and my conscience is screaming at me about the waste)...we find that the pool is constantly being re-filled by the "auto fill"...somewhere, somehow there's a leak and we're wasting even more water and money...so, I had to call in a leak detection specialist who thankfully found the leak at the filter and not in the actual pool itself...Another $1,500 in unexpected costs.So, long story short, fixing up the pool cost about the same as removing it, refilling with sod, getting a new fence but now we have a nice updated pool and it should help the value a little bit when we go to sell.

You might consider adding a small flower planter to the bottom of the windows if you can also figure out how to get a water line to them from your irrigation system.

Salaried employees who provide the time for home study seldom stay at the bottom very long.

The 2+1 means the top is 2 bedroom/1bath and the bottom is 1 bedroom/1bath.

Having a current tenant to me is neutral. 

Wood window blinds of any quality are likely going to be salty in price.First thought if interior treatment is to simply use a top down, bottom up product.

Since we bought our 1st house when the market was at the bottom, we are doing real well renting it out.

If your work is still intact, this money is sitting there ready to buy houses at rock bottom prices.

You will have a group of individuals making decisions that will affect your bottom line, sometimes drastically. 

Bottom line, if your not marketing your product or service online (no matter what you sell) your leaving big money on the table!
