Buying new appliances and furniture from a retail outlet, probably $5000 and on up.

I decided to do some cosmetic updates to the house while I am in it (new flooring, paint, appliances, counter top then staged it with new furniture) all with the idea to flip it.

The PA PUC is trying to have all utility meters move to outdoor access; no more meter readers having to go inside, shut off doesn't require any cooperation, etc -  they have a number of justifications.So if you must have a second meter, they will want it outside of the house.

Unlike a TV or an outdoor  Grill or a hot tub,  A/C during heat wave is not an option.

Next, we begin closing the walls, painting, hard surfaces, and outdoor finishes, beginning with sheet rock.

I love the Victorian/Federal style architecture and character of the housing stock in the the Historic Distict, and after working out some preliminary numbers I thought it would generate decent rental income.Historic District AllentownTHE PROPERTYHistoric 1868 2 family house, (2 BR & 1 BR) corner lot, newly renovated kitchens and bathrooms and totally modernized inside, 3 car parking, outdoor decks on N 7th St.

Operating Expenses would be around 4000 - 4200.Cashflowing around $2500 / month all worst case scenario #'sStart up cost = around 20,000 ( furniture = 12,000) (security deposit / first&last = 6800) Round up to 20 just to be safeBreak even = 7/8 monthsIf all goes well would extend the lease and profit the whole next year. 

Industrial NNN, we're buying industrial outdoor storage.Offmarket CRE can be done, but its not the same as SFR.

Here we have Cort Furniture.

This includes behind furniture, in windows, in corners of walls, etc.
