You will need to scrub the toilet daily with bleach or ammonia in order to prevent "viruses".

yeah, the piping is galvanized, but i do plumbing myself and would cost me $200-300 to change it over. 3 hrs and it's done. so no big deal.agree on the roof idea. will keep it as is and replace it when i notice degradation. will patch up the gutters and fix them up when the roof is replaced. i like to make it nice and not get calls for things that are not working right. but you guys have given me food for thought. keep the money until it needs to be spend. then spend it.

The retro travel food trailers here are often times rated as some of the best food in town.

Imagine all the grocery stores that would miss out on tailgate food, clothing retailers of apparel, bars that have specials on Monday nights!

The main thing I miss after my family is the GOOD food.

Back then people knew how to live off the land, preserve food, and get by with very little.

My hold time is estimated at 2 to 5 years before I trade up to another property.Either sell to another apartment owner or a developer who will tear down for their new build project.An assisted living facility would be perfect because of the median income and demographics of the area.I could just tile the whole thing.In the front where the dining room is on the vacants the fake vinyl wood floor has been eaten up by the previous tenants.This is why I feel tile would work best.The contractor said to have an extra box stored and then if one tile brakes etc. it's easy to replace one by one.Just didn't know if upstairs in the bedroom tile would work or if the tenant wouldn't tolerate it.I know many tenants have small kids and even with an area rug prefer carpet in the bedrooms.I want durability but at the same time don't want to deter renters so it has to be a balance of durability and tenants needs to get them to rent from me.Thanks for the discussion as I think this topic is great info and food for thought.

I think it is a good idea though several years back we tried it at the company I was working for and we met daily after reading x amount each night.

It's like asking, "What should I have for dinner tonight," when nobody here knows anything about you, your food preferences or your options.The most important piece of information you need to tell us is, "What are your goals?"
