Even if you're not buying now, get on the MLS every day and practice analyzing deals in that area so you know what a 2 unit, 2 unit with garden, 3 unit, and 4 unit go for and how certain rehabs or other attributes move the needle.

My husband and I are looking at doing an off the market deal on a multi-unit (two flat) on the north side of Chicago with a non-conforming garden unit.

We saw a new supermarket, a Home Depot, and newer constructions in the area.

It's nice that most of them are available at Home Depot so I'm not searching for some obscure/exotic brand.The article above doesn't say much about the level of glossiness, but a couple other articles leave me the impresson that I should go for a flat paint rather than anything with much gloss.

I have found some home depot lowes stuff stays in stock longer though.

I just sold 2 duplexes that I purchased last year for great profits and paid off all the debit associated with the homes, credit cards (Home Depot) the Line of Credit and pocketed close to $30k. not bad!  

I always go with Shaker White cabinets with stainless steel handles from Home Depot - keeps it uniform, simple and consistent.

you can buy a key form Home Depot to turn off the street main ,having said that the water department can get pissy about turning the street main off you may need to call them, each area is different .

If the buyer enjoys gardening as a hobby, then they will likely want to plant their own flowers anyway, so there is no need to get carried-away on landscaping.

I belive it's from the 90's and it seems to be better quality than the stuff you get at home depot/lowes I still have plenty of time to think about it.
