So I went back to the drawing boards.

You also see more people doubling up, getting roommates, etc.On a long-term basis Las Vegas still has great weather and entertainment as a draw.

We had to draw up plans for the entire structure (not just the addition) and submit for approval.

Draw your own conclusions.

I like to provide good quality to my tenants as I find it draws a better grade of people, if you will.

There are some things though that can justify a higher subsequent sale price.

Another idea might be to have some kind of poll or other input that can gauge what topics might draw the most interest as well.

Also, by keeping the tile the same, instead of using different ones in different rooms, you're drawing less attention to the fact all the floors are tiled.

Thanks to you and Jon for great advice.I dont plan on short sales right now.Just assignment of contracts and trans funding.I was thinking of going to my attorney and having him draw up a contract that has these clauses in it,or I guess i can just add them to a generic real estate contract.Thanks so much for your helpTim

If the deal pencils out with the increased maintanence and again assuming the rents are correct this is a deal.Your biggest challenge will be coming up with the funds for the renovation of the fire-damaged unit.One other thing... in most areas the level of attention you are going to draw renovating one unit of a commerical building, especially one that had a fire may end up costing substantially more then you had planned.
