@Richard Raghoo - to increase cash flow, you only have two options: raise the gross income, or decrease expenses.If you are set on sticking to residential, you will have to find creative ways to decrease expenses.

For the record, my guys and I are not too shabby at installing and finishing hardwood in place ourselves, but for rentals, we tend to stick with $2.99/ft2 plain-sawn No. 1 red oak on sale and three coats of oil-based poly at $100 per five-gallon can.But even if I could get the kind of ultra-high end oak flooring Joshua's talking about cheaper than PEI 5 impervious tile, I would still do the tile in kitchens and bathrooms.

That being said, I do believe it is in your best interest to stick with one broker in your search, as it will streamline the process for you.  

We always try to educate our clients that the cheapest policy is only good if you never have a claim -- it is well worth the higher cost to have a reputable carrier that doesn't stick it to you after a storm.

Just looking for any insight into the area, and what the potential for adding on would be, or stick with a basic rehab.

So I was expecting bad news..The snake did not go through and after sticking down a camera they informed me that the line was broken and the front yard needs to be dug up.

Neither were bad strategies but I didn't stick to one which proved to be costly on the marketing side of things. 

Then stick to your plan and don't deviate.  

Learn from your mistakes, revise your lease, and stick to it next time.

Much of this also has to do with planning and sticking to the plan.
