Don't waste your valuable time trying to rethink marketing.  

She beat the case for the electric and fail on the water and waste part due to the fact of the city capping offer their sewer from her.

We replaced hot water tank, walls, doors, vanities, fixtures, etc... 1b) Do I need to break down my pre-market expenses into the Schedule E categories or can I leave them in bulk under "supplies" and "services" like I currently have them?

We want to put ceiling fans in every bedroom, so we relocated the vents to side of each room and we are putting ceiling boxes put in the center of the rooms.We also opened up two walls, one in the master bath, and one going from the dining room into the kitchen.All the ceilings upstairs have been re-textured.All the bedroom walls have been painted as well as the living room downstairs.The upstairs hall bathroom had tile on the walls that was pulled out during demo and we are in the middle of replacing the sheetrock there.Our goal for this week is:1- Putting the upstairs bathrooms back together, new vanities, new toilets...etc.  2- Framing in the new openings that we created.3- New sheetrock and insualtion in the den.4- Finish trim painting upstairs5-Painting the rest of downstairs6-Finishing a downstairs coat closet(currently not sheetrocked).The 1st pic is the den, it was taken before all the paneling was removedThe 2nd pic is the kitchen, the soffit in the pic is now goneThe 3rd pic is the downstairs living room and dining room(that light fixture is going)The last 2 pics are two of the four bedrooms upstairs.

BP saved me $350 I was about to waste on a guru.

Why do you waste your time and money with all that SFH stuff?

Do anything else seems like a waste of time to me. 

@Jay Hinrichs Yes, convincing lenders to be aggressive when there were so many Wall St suicides is a tough sell.  

It's a good relationship and not just about the commissions.Bottom line with any agent is that they want to know they are not wasting their time and energy for nothing.

Everyone has heard of the Federal Reserve "Stress Test" for large Wall Street banks, but many of the same principles apply to us as real estate investors.
