I appreciate everyone who takes the time out to respond to posts and help others find solutions.

If anyone has any references I would greatly appreciate it.

I would have to speak with the contractor (check references and license) who will be doing the install to ensure that it will be installed properly as well as check into local laws regarding the upgrade, does it automatically become part of the property or when the tenant leaves will they want to remove the granite countertops because they paid for it.

Any solutions?

You do not want people to refer you to pod casts, blogs and other links, you want somesome to say: "Hey, message me or call me to discuss".

My main source of properties is from tax auctions but I've also started a company called HMC Solutions LLC where I purchase properties for cash.

E-myth revisited is the one I believe most are referring too.

If that wasn't enough, understand as well, that usually the laymen refers to all things not residential as "commercial".

I was given a name by reference and when I called to find out, the rate was ~$325/hour.

At the risk of embarrassing myself and asking a question I should already know, what are you referring to about "the nine core beliefs"?
