You are not going to find cheap, easily obtainable, and efficient.

Originally posted by Joel Owens:With carpet you want a Nylon carpet even if the cheaper version.Some carpet guys will try to sell you the rubber composite carpet stuff which is the really cheap stuff so it will stand up to tenant abuse.The problem is it can only be cleaned usually up to one time and then you need to replace it again.So I would rather get a cheaper nylon that can be re-cleaned many times over after installation for an additional .10 to .15 a sq ft extra than the super cheap stuff I will have to replace again.Thanks Joel, I need to buy Carpet on Friday and found that educational.

A PM would have taken most of that.I have seen too many OOS investors fail buying cheap properties in rough areas not recognising that over time capex exceeds cash flow.

You could also potentially rent it to someone cheap month to month with same option. 

It's fairly cheap and tastes like it's been aged in wooden barrels.

new construction is very strong right now. deliveries went up every year in central ohio. existing inventory saw a 30% or more drop in unit sales but new construction has grown every year in terms of deliveries and sales. you are selling below what most new construction homes are selling at and also existing homes are selling at.

Even the cheap "cashflow" areas right now don't cashflow after real cap/ex costs, maybe on an excel sheet they do.

I know that's very cheap compared to what others on here are paying and I think it's for a few reasons:1.  

At $20,000 for lifetime access you have the option to will to your descendants, 2 generations at $10,000 each is cheap,  (same price for over 15 years, they just recently increased prices) and no upsell when they upgrade all the education for you because laws and regulations change so they keep education current, plus access to a network of investors and practitioners you will need for your team(what's this worth to you?)

Also getting cheap contractors or trying to be their own general contractor.
