Thank you for the tips, I did not consider the additional payment if borrowing from my 401k.

I know I have another post with a similar question but I have 3 painters coming for estimates tomorrow and new posts get more action.I was going to get the walls painted softer tan (Sherwin Williams) - paint the basement floor grey and light grey on basement walls - I WAS going to paint all brown doors and trim white because of what I read on BP.

I copied and saved the tip about trees with aggressive roots.

Great tip!

One month of vacancy, plus carpet and paint will cut your cash flow by $100+/mo.

We are assuming 10% vacancy and $600 rents till we can actually see the rent roll and also including is a reserve for large capital(roof/painting/paving).

This includes everything from a piece of chipped paint on down.

You'll have to paint, clean or replace carpet, etc...

Next it'll be a radon test and a lead paint test, and an exterminator when she sees ant.
