Made 21K in about a week.During those 24 hours, I got myself a 7K piano and other old antique furniture that came with the house when I bought it. 

@Paul G.Thanks for sharing your answers, questions were for everyone... thank you because I think your story is probably a lot closer to the mean on a bell curve if I could get 1000 people to respond... rather than the "$30k into REI" all in strategy.I've been investing in stock, metals and antiques, with the mentoring of my mother, for 27 years...

eEdge is so antiquated and they keep telling the agents that Gary is investing Billions on it's replacement. 

I was a rep for a state of CA senator for the antiquated plat steering committee this was early 80s  .. and we had a big conference in Ft.

I parged the walls but it didn't eliminate the leaking, but being a low profile root cellar type basement with antiquated french drainage it suffices for now.Thankfully the front area (30x15) of the basement was built as a 'bomb shelter' so the solid poured cement walls & ceiling do not leak or bow & definitely supports the rest of the building.

A beautiful house with an antiquated floor plan is still not desirable to a large portion of the market. 

The biggest issue at the time was having funds returned, but that's a function of the antiquated ACH system not because of the eRentPayment service.

I'm not sure what was used last time aside from the color, antique white, which is pretty standard.It cost $500 if I remember right and it would add up.

I did my recent rental in antique white, nice neutral color. 

Don't skimp on the front door and hardware, go with the style of the home, but I got a very nice door at an antique building materials place with knocker and had a guy refinish it in new casings, in this area that's usually an upper-end thing, especially on tudors, english or french...
