Here's how my priorities lie:1) positive cash flow2) pull out as much invested capital upon refinance3) long term appreciationI'm an out of town investor deciding between a couple different cities and San Antonio is the front runner right now; However, I read a post about another out of town investor having a hard time finding a contractor that would quote him a fair price which is a major concern for me.

If the seller is not doing this then they are obviously being deceptive and hiding a unacceptable tenant situation.Also, out of state or not, your agent is only your front runner.

Then I would cover living room with new area rug, leaving tag on, put a great new doormat in outside and inside, add a runner in the main hall and a matching in one in the kitchen...give them some Casters for under furniture in bedrooms...

Also realize that the front runner for 2016 has long been strongly supported by the big banks who have benefited significantly from the law.   

Runners approaching the 20th mile in the summer heat will know exactly what I'm talking about.

She asked if she should get a runner rug to put on the stairs, or if there's a better solution.

Great market overall, some trendy spots nearby, runners love Bayshore, and it's a short hop to the downtown area (college, nightlife).  

For those that don't, going with a dark stain color can help to hide.Require the tenants to cover primary traffic routes with runners and the other areas with rugs. 

Stock market now is like the road runner cartoon running off the edge of the cliff.........once he looks down, boom down he goes!

Lease runner * you'll have to combine the words.
