I ended up buying a duplex in Bakersfield in July with an FHA loan and used Loan Depot.

@Jia Liu these types of situations are very normal in Chicago as there are thousands of "garden" units here.

I was looking into Home Depot to possibly measure, plan, and install cabinets.

My property is a 3 family plus garden unit.

Looking at some areas that will continue to grow and offer appreciation play would be Clermont/Minneola, Apopka, Winter Garden, Lake Nona, Davenport, St.

Leave the cabinets --  if a potential tenant asks mention that unlike the stuff they sell at home depot etc. these are all hardwood. 

The tub spout is a $15 fix from Home Depot.  

For five years I conducted weekly business visits to the Home Depot and Lowe’s stores in Yuba City as well as 50 stores throughout the region.

Doing it yourself and going to Home Depot etc. to provide the labor and buy the parts ( In this case you are buying yourself a job for the NOI ) which if you make much more than that annually at your job or business can be a losing proposition.4.

I have a place that is willing to give us space, and if I can get an idea of how many people, I can then post the venue and time in the appropriate forum of Events and Happenings.So, anyone want to grab some afternoon coffee in Delray Beach on Saturday, November 7th... maybe people from Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Lake Worth, Boyton Beach, Boca Raton, or West Palm?
