Consider a motion sensor light on the side of the house.

I decided going forward to allocate a portion of my budget strictly for capex repairs that would typically be covered by a warranty co.Hope this shines some light for you.

For instance, the guy that lived in the US and liked surfing and, at some point, having financial stability (i.e. property already paid off in the US, or money saved, or able to telework), had that light bulb moment to relocate to Bali when it was cheap... really made it.

The basement has brink walls like the picture and track lighting already installed. 

Its required for all below grade bedrooms for emergency egress from fire but once complete also double as a light source to give that lower unit a more inviting feeling.  

Hi team,We've recently purchased a few apartment buildings and have a general question about what others use for timers on their common area lights.

@Andrew Namkoong I really need some light shed on this as well because I am going to start to purchase buy and holds and want to know what I should do as far as taxes go and such.

Our government is run as a criminal enterprise ( its just coming to light that about 21-23 TRILLION dollars has been laundried through HUD the last 30+/- years.

@George Cal Nashville and Indy are my personal favorites.I bought a duplex in Indy last December for $155k, did a light rehab and it rents for $2,235Last week I was looking at deal from my agent in Nashville, it was a turn key duplex for $250k with rents of $3000 with room to get to $3200

On the other hand, one could argue that if you choose a good real estate attorney to draft your loan docs and guide you through the process, the money is just as well spent there.)Another thing is that, as a guru Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad) is "information light" (on specifics), but I do feel his books have a number of "philosophical gems" (ways of looking at things) which are extremely valuable.
