One tip that I picked up here is while you are starting out and saving money for your investments, start driving / visiting areas you would like to invest in so you get a feel for prices, rents , house conditions etc, and visit and look at lots of homes and open houses so your eye get used to looking at repairs / upgrades that are normal in a particular market.

Even if you had a water sensor that alerted your phone about any problems with washing machine, it would be already too late by the time you got there to shut it off.Personally, I think the Wally Home system is too new with not enough customer reviews to feel comfortable spending $300 on it.That's why I'd focus more on upgrading and checking the washing machines hoses.

I really like Irving and Avondale b/c the prices are reasonable and with mildly upgraded units you can really push rents while attracting a very nice professional renter.  

Changing out the hardware on the tub to match the shower head you select will give the whole thing a more modern, upgraded look. ( You might consider changing out the vanity hardware to match as well.2.

Hi BPmy project is moving along smoothly, we are half way donethis house is located in a very desirable northern suburb of Pittsburgh.the school is great. conveniently located near "shopping", on the commuter line for pittsburgh. no more new construction. middle income, family friendly community.the projected return is tight b/c this is first time in this market and I think I Comped it wrong. a few street away makes a huge difference b/c of lot sizes.it's total upgrade, open layout, reconfigure kitchen, upgrade baths, all new windows.

But all those cultural restrictions is more than offset by a tradition of honesty and integrity, especially in business.Thanks to our badly broken Japanese, communication in daily life is scattered with many amusing interactions.

There is a large broken window so I'm sure there has to be some interior water damage.I don't have any experience estimating repair costs.

Maybe I'm a bit bias but why would anyone want to invest in a city as corrupt, and broken as Detroit.

The house gets broken into, all of the copper is missing and the place is trashed.
