She never really seemed to have any advice or knowledge to share. 

Looking to order a book on wholesaling that teaches and gives you the tools and knowledge you need in order to achieve and have great and positive results in this buisiness

I would imagine the extra service life would justify the cost increase over carpet.  

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

I feel like the answers you're looking for vary so much from one municipality to the next any advice given from knowledge gained from elsewhere may not be relevant to your situation.

I have the knowledge of the area, the contacts to negotiate the price, the design skill, and can get GC and local construction going.

The advantage is I dont have to do it all at once since i am not stripping the roof . i amk just doing it when i have extra time 

I met a potential tenant yesterday who balked at every requirement (extra rent for his pet, paying for the credit check/background search, online rent payment).

I do know a good bit about development because my father has done several sub-divisions on his own over his life as well as my professional job as an architect gives me a very unique perspective and knowledge base that most people in REI will never have.

If not, we get to keep that extra money as well.
