I contacted them for the contractor work but was delighted to find they had investment properties and understood spending levels for rentals for still good quality merchandise.One of my other rentals had new cabinets and counter tops installed by a local cabinet maker - total price (material and labor) was better than other considerations (refinishing or replacement by HD and Lowe’s).While I have yet to really buy cabinets from places like HD or Lowe’s I don’t think they would be off my list as every project is different and presents its own unique circumstances.

Just some food for thought.I feel that every property class is going to have its own set of challenges and hills to get over, and your decision on where to invest comes down to what you feel that you will be able to deal with.Best of luck!

I think if food stamps get cut those section 8 tenants who have to pay partial rent out of pocket maynot be able to and feed their family. 

It was a disaster, clothes everywhere food on the floors garbage everywhere.

That kept the value down.Just for more food for thought, try reading the Price Waterhouse Cooper's Emerging Trends in Real Estate for 2019.

My biggest concerns were:Is it food safe?  

Regarding the meetup: ORANGE COUNTY MEETUPDECEMBER 17 (always the 3rd Wednesday of the month)7 p.m.Round Table Pizza (corner of Lake Forest Dr. and Lambert, Lake Forest, CA) Free (the only cost is for your food and beverage) Low key, casual atmosphere@Clint Kreider heads it up, I'm sure there will be a post for that on Events and Happenings, so please post any questions about meetup there. 

Like if you go to a fast food place and it's "Except for kids, who get a free toy."

Because that is what puts food on your table.

Just some food for thought :)  good luck!
