I've been in this space since 2003 and I've seen some shady companies come and go, but like Chris said, those bad apples are somewhat rare.Continued success!

I wouldn't paint the floor.

I was recently searching for flooring for a unit.

My realtor says I should have gone with a 3 bedroom instead of the two large rooms with lots of closet space.

Its got 5,600 sq ft of space with a 2bdrm apt on the upstairs taking up 1,800 sq ft.

Do you have the space for someone to bring their own furniture?

The paint a 3BR 1BA walls/trim/all doors + The entire basement floor and walls was quoted at $2100.

Another issue is zoning as a special use permit may be required, having special needs or more than 3 unrelated tenants is sometimes an issue.You may also be subject to inspections and ADA requirements, hard surface floors wider doors, etc. it's no walk in the park.After you get the permits and modify the place, you will get higher than market rents (due to mods) but you're also pretty well locked in to renting to that NP/agency, can't really take them to the cleaners as they can move on leaving you with a harder to rent dwelling too.Insurance will be more and you better keep the place up in tip top shape.

Use descriptive, straightforward terms that tell the physical attributes of the home (like marble, spiral staircase, gourmet kitchen, and solid bamboo flooring).

:D3) The niche I choose will best suit the area(s) I intend on investing.Since I come from the construction and engineering field, I know/Seen the impacts of not having a plan to follow...crooked walls and warped floors are never good!
