While on the surface I say I invest for cashflow. 

The 1% rule is a quick, surface assessment that enables you to quickly identify properties worth pursuing.

If you have the paint you should be able to blend in the patches as long as the repairs blend with the finished wall surfaces.

Rub all the exterior cabinet surface (and island) to clean and degloss the cabinets (your handy tenants, like mine, turn out to be not so much --in the end)...

Cars must be parked on paved surfaces (driveway) if in the front of the house.

Make sure you prep the surface properly the first time you paint.  

This would include, hardwood floors, granite counters, stainless appliances, double bathroom sink, open floor plan.I try to combine this with my wants as a landlord which is hard-surface floors and low maintenance everything.A couple examples, we use a lot of wood-grain vinyl.

Did the previous owner die of a communicable disease that can be transmitted by contact with surfaces such as a carpet?

I live and own one side of a duplex and intend to move and keep it as rental property when it is paid off.  The back section of the roof is shared with no division, just one continuous roof.  Over a year ago, I notice...

One house needs new roof,2 deck surfaces will need to be removed and resurfaced,Repair drywall damage, Scrape ceilings in four bedroomsReplace 4 windowsPlace new weather stripping on four doors, Install 4 new fan lights (I provide those, he will do electrical).So the second house is 10 minute drive and by the time we got there he gave me a bid of $39,500 for the first job.
