I would appreciate anybody sharing with me ways that they do real bottom-up fundamental macroeconomic research on RE markets, and/or any state-by-state or even city-by-city cap rate charts.

I'm also looking at appliances right now for two houses I'll be putting on the market soon and I was planning on going with a side-by-side fridge for both houses, they're both what I'd call middle of the market houses for my market (listing for probably $260k and $170k respectively) but then I wonder if I should spend more and get french door fridges, which also seem to be the hot item these days, but cost considerably more than a comparably sized side-by-side fridge.So, with all of these questions, I wonder if I should just list them without appliances and offer a credit towards new appliances for the amount I would've spent on them, so buyers could pick out exactly what they wanted.

Cabinets $4-10k installed, dependig on size, quality.

Investors also like the size aspect of scale and being more hands off.The interest rate you can get on a commercial loan is based on the terms you want.

What size are the units?

As far as value goes I doubt a wood burning fireplace is going to add enough value to justify the cost to fix it.Depending on the size I would recommend removing it.

Does anyone know a handyman who can help me with a pretty decent-sized punch list i created by taking a fine toothed comb to my crawlspace, house and attic?

In a perfect world, I would only buy 3 bed/2 bath, but 2 bed/1 bath are priced so low that it's hard to overlook that.I have several 2 bed/1 bath apartments and houses in different cities and have never had any issues with renting them out.In my market, I either get older couple or a single parent with 1-2 kids and it's a perfect size house for them.

I've set my goal to lose 10 lbs more by April 15th, 2016 with a waist size goal of 32.That is some serious health discipline on your part.

Your client isn't that interested in knowing the brick comps out at $4,200 more at that size as they are seeing the home and simply being more appealing to their eye.
