Our property is only .5 miles from the university so most likely our tenants will be students. 

You can use a full or half susan in the corner.On the window wall, the sink under the window, DW to the left of the sink.

Ok big splash on the news yesterday.. went to site registered only half a dozen SFR's on the site and same amount of commercialthe commercial guys are used to double ending the deals..

Yet these agents were asking for your highest and best offer initially and would probably meet half way between your highest offer and asking price, which is...  

As I am on the road all day every day (250+ miles daily).

During the renovation stage, I drive back and forth between home and property a few times a day; are those miles deductible?   

What really got me about this is that we just sold about half of Hydro one to private shareholders, so the province really does not benefit in this way at all.

Hi all.I figure it's time to introduce myself, having lurked, watched several webinars and taken in 12 hours of BP Podcasts over the past month or so.Anyway, my name is Craig, I live near Manchester, England, and I have absolutely ZERO experience in Real Estate.However, having seen my uncle and his 2 sons do really well in RE, and having nothing in the way of a retirement plan/fund (and being 44), I figure it's time to get off my butt and come up with a plan.Having looked around, RE seems like the way to go but, like a lot of people, pretty much everything I have is tied up my home and , as we only moved to this property 2 years ago, we don't have a massive amount of equity in it yet.Therefore, I need to find out how much of what i am reading/hearing on BP actually applies to UK Real Estate for a start (obviously, things like the MLS don't exist here - at least not to my knowledge) and how I can start doing something in the next 1-2 years.I could go to my cousins for advice, but we've never been a particularly close family and I don't want to just turn up and start asking for handouts (any advice they give could potentially impact their own business, as they buy-to-rent in an area less than 10 miles from me).I would prefer to get in to buy-to-rent (or buy-and-hold as I believe it's called over there), as I have a full-time IT job, that I am not looking to give up any time soon.Also, if any other UK-based members have advice on the best way to deal with the banks, any specific rules/pitfalls over here, whether the auction is the only place to buy smaller, cheap properties that need rehab (every man and his dog seems to go there, though, thanks to programmes like Homes Under the Hammer).Anyway.
