Hello all, I’m currently working on a Chicago style bungalow and want to get peoples opinions on this minor detail, so we are using Hardie siding with a stone fascia on the front of the house... right now the stone fascia is going to be only on the side to the left of the stairs below the first floor windows, but my partner wants to also run a few pieces a small section above the staircase platform to I guess create a continuous line across, whereas for me I believe doing that is going to make it look a little weird to have just a small section of stones there... are we overthinking this too much?

So, no quick answer.We find for most rental real estate investors they can save about 40% on fees in a 5 year window and 80% over 10 years with a checkbook style plan as compared to using a custodian as processor.

Milwaukee seems to make you jump through a bunch of dumb hoops...my experience with getting the writ was kind of a pain...I can only compare it to going to the DMV "fill out this form then go to that window"...."

I also wouldn't waste my time dealing with Notice of Trustee Sales leads because if it got that far, the sale date is imminent, and only (All things being equal) a very fast close cash deal would work.Notice of Default gives you the biggest window of time to put something together.

I thought that was high, but I'm still looking.I am looking to close on Nov 1 so I am getting really close to missing my window of conventional loan which takes 3-4 weeks... 

I'm thinking grants for making the outside of the property look nice, particularly near the Open Window Project area.

It was undeniable that the leasing company did not have the home inspected or professionally cleaned, fire alarms broken and missing, light bulbs burnt out, carpets filthy, windows inside/out so dirty you cannot see out of them, 1/2 inch of dust and dirt on the ceiling fans, window sills, bathrooms not cleaned...just a complete mess.

Using the numbers below, I would regain approximately half of my downpayment in addition to financing needed repairs (windows and vinyl siding) for the property.

In the room with the window closed and with the window open (as you might do on a warm summer night). 

Replace 8 doors, install weatherstripping in the entry door, repair windows hardware and window trim6.
