If it doesn’t sway her opinion, you still get some quality time with her, so I’d say it’s a win/win.

Looking for someone experienced with smooth walls (level 5) or, if that's too hard to find, with quality old-world or troweled on texture.

High quality Sherwin Williams paint.

  $10/week isn't that bad, usually postings aren't up more than 2 weeks and I get a lot of leads that tend to be quality. 

Why would I continue to save in my 401K and why would I not take advantage of this "10% discount" now and pull $100,000 out of my Retirement and invest in good quality rental properties. 

Hi everyone,My rental property is a SFH (class A) in a great neighborhood and in the coastal region of the Bay Area known for outdoor spaces, nature and great quality of life.

One good think that we have on our side is that my husband does part of the job himself because he’s very knowledgeable and he likes it; also, he’s really on top of workers that he hires for doing the other part of the job and we tend to get the less expensive workers out there (you really need to stay on top of them especially if you pay less then average).So this is how we manage to renovate a house with a lower budget labor then average and we have a bit more budget for quality materials and fancy details.

If the neighborhood could accommodate a 5th unit and it truly adds to the property for aesthetics as well as utility (i.e. is there a place to park, nearest city utility access, septic system capacity, etc) it would certainly warrant investigating the potential the ROI for building a unit.  

Does anyone have some quality books they can recommend that would align with my goals of buying cash flowing rental properties?  

They would allow covering it up which might be doable with a heavy residential or commercial wallpaper but repainting by a quality and qualified contractor would probably be too expensive.
