Basically, figure out what makes one group of homes attractive to a buyer/renter and see what other neighborhoods offer the same living experience.

Common sense would probably say that someone new to real estate would start off with an SFR and go from there, but I am very attracted to the efficiency of multi family… one deal, one roof, etcThis is purely hypothetical.

I came across a property on a private lake within the city limits of a highly visited tourist town in Colorado.

They seam to attract the smoke and then emit the odor when they heat up.

There is an outlet right outside the closet, but I am worried that having a permanently plugged in light will make the bedroom and closet less attractive.

This tier is very attractive to contractors, as someone stated.

This is much lower than the CAPs I am currently achieving on my condos, but to me it feels like a good tradeoff given that the houses are in very good areas with potential for appreciation, good school, should attract good longer-term tenants, etc.

The terms might not be as attractive but it will still be better than trying to pay cash or not doing the deal at all.

No need to tie into the rest of the house, since there are units that can be used just to condition (heat and cool) a small space like that.I believe that the electrical wiring can be surface mounted in channels or in conduit or in metal jacketed cable, but those aren't as visually attractive as being behind a wall.You want this to be living space - anything in particular (family room, office, etc)?

Remember that part of your success comes from people knowing they can trust you, that you do what you say and that you operate in a way that will not attract unnecessary legal or regulatory action.Too much reading between the lines leads people to think that there is a snake in the grass so they will not trust you.Find a good agent that can run automated reports.
