A standard flining system with cabinet should do fine for you.

It will cause further problems in banking and possibly HUNDREDS of small to medium sized banks will fail.

I've worked with hundreds of newbies and most of them NEVER buy a single property.

Some tenants are higher maintenance than others, but the quiet ones, who never have an issue, often cost you more in the end - they are the ones who will ignore the leak under the sink until the bottom falls out of the cabinet and the subfloor is rotten.We have a new tenant who is quite particular about things and has an ever expanding "todo" list - many of them were initially legitimate as we made the error of letting the tenant move in a couple of days early when we really should have held onto that time to give the unit one last going over.The bone of contention is the dishwasher: the tenant insists it doesn't work.  

Heck, we have flat fee listing agents out here in CA that charge a few hundred bucks to put your listing into the MLS, then include your phone number so other agents call you. 7% is too much for some lame paperwork that basically is nothing but disclosures stating "I'm ignorant about contracts and real estate, so if things don't work out, sue each other and leave me out of it."

Often bungalows owned by OAPs are solid brick, well-built houses that need updating to modern tastes, new carpet, cabinets, etc. 

I want to promote a successful community in the western part of Mass while also bringing together hundreds of RE professionals in the Northeast.

If you are holding rentals I don't think the name is important unless you have enough rentals (several hundred to several thousand) that having a "brand" would be a value. 

The savings is in the hundreds of thousands.

Got my start over a decade ago with an on-site mentor who spent three days with me in my market, helping me get deals in my market while he was there, helping me get buyers for those deals while he was there, and teaching me everything I needed to know to not only pay for my training but launch a business that has grossed me hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.I know it's hard to pick the right mentor.
