It won't be pretty but it will be dry.The square footage of the house without the basement is 1700 sf.We are thinking a mini split for heating and cooling, but we weren't really going to go any further with the space because the comps in the area really don't support a price point too far above where we are going to end up with the current plan.  

seems tight.

Handscraped hardwoods in all public spaces, new carpet in bedrooms, new toilets, new light fixtures, kitchen redone with granite counters & new appliances, bathrooms redone with granite, new quality vinyl siding, etc.A colleague (local realtor) on BP sent me a CMA and we both feel the appropriate rent is $1,600 per month.Here's the big question: does it make more sense to keep this house as our first foray into the rental market or sell the house and take the nearly $100k in equity and buy 3-4 more properties with that cash as down payments?

Hi, I'm seeking conference room space for an upcoming REI Meetup planned for Friday, 3/18 at 7PM in San Francisco.  

If they balk at it and they were really tight on money, you may consider telling them that there is a one-time-only waiving of the late fees if they pay by Friday.

There are construction cranes all over Boston building apartment buildings/retail space etc so something must be going right!

Robert the last time one was done the economy was down so you could get space for cheap to do an event.These days everyone ( hotels, convention centers) charges a mint to put something on of that scale.

If your not in a big rush I would just sit tight a bit.

So many questions.Is it manufacturing suits, office space, retail, etc.There are many factors but mostly you look at sustainability.How long are the leases, would you be able to cover all expenses and pay yourself?

Aside from the massive time crunch, other problems cropped up as the bathroom was stripped down - a water line snapped in the crawl space; some drywall had to be replaced; etc.
