While staring out the window at that property it finally hit me how to make a nice profit.

I can take this list and create surrounding listed/sold but theres likely too few on the street, so best to just keep running through itEXPIREDS: Great listNOD: Much smaller nowadays, plus theres only a short window of time apparently.FSBO: Great list!

Just purchased a 3 bedroom with a rather large basement. 3 bedroom would catch about 1100 a month, however if I added a 4th bedroom in the basement, I'll get @ 1300 a month in rent.The basement takes on water, needs to be partially finished, (walls/floor/outlets/lights/ etc) plus an egress window needs to be installed.Rough numbers when all is said and done will be 9-10k, with the waterproofing eating up most of that estimate.

One of our tenants applied and the program installed new windows, attic insulation, and a swamp cooler without any charge.  

It's been a hard slog renovating.I bought most of the materials off craigslist and offerup or materials on clearance sale at the big name stores.Brand new bathtubs- freeFound them in another building I ownBrand new modern vanities- $65Marked down from $400 at Home DepotKitchens with granite bench tops- $1000 eachPurchased from CraigslistShower screens, toilets, faucets, front doors, new windows and various other bits and pieces were bought for $20-$40 on Craigslist and offerup.The total rehab cost for installing central AC, 2 new bathrooms and 2 new kitchens, washer and dryer and updating plumbing and electrical is around 18K for materials and labor.Each side is rented for $1400 per month, total $2800.

 $150 for 7 blinds and windows.  

I acted as the general contractor doing much of the work ourselves, and farming out such work as electrical, insulating, all new windows and drywall.

These include:-Painting the garage-Removing some dead trees and cleaning up the yard-Installing flower boxes in the front and under the windows-Repairing all driveway/garage floor cracks-Painting the inside of the house-Repairing appliances-Fixing a leaking roof and damaged gutter-Installing new SOD and landscapingNot quite as good as the addition and new garage cited above but all of these things reduce maintenance costs and improve the value of the properties.

I understand the window egress requirements and I do see that discussed in the local municipal code.

Somehow it was deleted from my Windows phone, and when it's deleted from the phone, there's no record of it in my email for some reason!
