But my camera's lasted about 5 years before someone threw a rock at it and broke it.  

Your yard might be smaller than you’re used to, and the dirt will be bright red.

I believe that there is a long term return on investment on these types of improvements in form of longer tenancy and lower turnover cost.I love these red oak floors: they are money in the bank and can be sanded and refinished very effectivley.

I have a personal interest in tiny houses as I am a rock climber and considered staging some at various locations around the country.

When I go in a house if I see galvanized water line, cast iron water line and 2 wire electrical outlets I figure on doing the plumbing and electrical right off the bat, I really want to take care of my customers but am I putting to much emotion into buying since if I was the one buying this would be a red flag for me.

Investing in real estate is about turning rocks over everyday.  

Also the addition with no permit history is a huge red flag.

If that agent doesn't have investments themselves that's a red flag.  

We are still in the red.

The first red flag I had was when the property was still vacant and was being shown to several prospective tenants but no one would take it.
