Now..I am not an attorney so that statement is like us getting a cup of coffee together and brainstorming. 

Otherwise we could just meet for a cup of coffee somewhere or at your office.

Absolute time saver when changing out outlets and electric fixtures.

:) Ok off for another cup of coffee

Anna Gorres Columbia Heights is still a good bet.I’m actually on the lookout for a SFH to rehab right now using bank financing, you may not need to come up with as much cash as you think.If you ever want to get a cup of coffee and talk real estate shoot me a message on here.

That is not my cup of tea.

-To be competitive in the resale market, both units need:  full kitchen and bath remodel; new flooring; new paint; new window fixtures; some / all new internal doors; popcorn ceiling scrape and paint; new light fixtures; likely new water heaters.My experience tells me that each unit can be fully remodeled for between $20k-$30k.Seller says that each can be fully renovated and be market-competitive with only $5k. 

If you’d like we could go to Fika and great a cup of coffee?

I also added four fluorescent fixtures (used) from ReStore to my garage at home - about $32 total, including tubes and spare tubes.The ReStore does sometimes have new windows and doors that were overstocks, or a special order that somebody didn't go through with, or things like that.
