The other thing is that there would be some level of lead abatement but we didn't get to the lead test - definitely present in moldings, around staircase, trim, etc.The section 8 rent will be at least 900 if not 1000 minimum for a 2 bedroom with den, which is how I'd have to market it for section 8 with its layout.

One of them had a double lot and the other was similar in layout and finishes.

This property has a good layout for me ( one br open floor plan, nice deck) and is in an up and coming neighborhood with a a lot of newly renovated houses on the street as well as in the surrounding blocks.

Looking at 12 X 12 tiles at 54 cents a apiece or 18 by 18 for 84 cents apiece.The area we would be tiling on concrete is the main level.Another unit I own with exact space and layout is already tiled 12 by 12.The whole floor makes up 410 tiles.We can buy pre-mixed mastic or do it ourselves.The mix yourself is cheaper but I think it is way messier and we might not get the mix just right.

If you want, lay out your scenario.

I have a color sample on the wall, cabinet layout from HD stapled to the wall, tile sample, and counter sample.

As we used to say in physics class its intuitively obvious to the most casual observer this is exactly what's happening.

You don't need much granite and could probably use remnant pieces with your layout.

Lay out the house rules from the start and make it clear that the lease must be followed if they wish to live there.

I use Intuit Payment Network, but there are a lot of online payment options.
