Floor & Decor Stores in Texas carry pre-cut slabs of granite.  

Example #1 is an apt in a beautiful 1899 Evanston, IL Victorian. -- My landlord client rehabbed the garden apt which was great but I can't get him to update the #2 apt kitchen even just slightly (new floor and refacing cabinets). -- He has plenty of money and I am stumped since we have shown this unit a dozen times and they all say the same thing; "Too outdated."

@Kelsey Peters-Wittig told me after your meetup that it was absolutely beautiful.  

Shippan point in Stamford is a beautiful area, sounds like that was a good deal!

Purchase price: $215,000 Cash invested: $7,000 19th century 6.02 acre gentlemen's farm, 1880 sq foot farmhouse completely renovated between 2016-2018, beautiful stone barn with 4 horse stalls and outbuildings kept in working condition.

Literally no money down is a beautiful thing, however on the opposite end of the spectrum, we are paid significantly less than your average American. 

@David Hagen It looks beautiful.

We love restoring beautiful old homes and improving the neighborhood.

It's still the slow time of year due to our beautiful winter weather so hang in there.

The beauty of this is that I have already had tenants excited about the improvements to the property thank me as they are now proud to call the place home.
