Make sure there is proper egress from the bedroom window.

If you haven't already, I would create an accurate budget based on what the property will likely need during your intended hold period (such as roof, windows, siding, mechanicals, sewer line, driveway, appliances, plumbing repairs, kitchen and bath upgrades, etc).

Now, here is the upside potential....First, we can put double pane windows in all the units.We are east of Cleveland Ohio and living on the lake is quite cold and all the units are single paned windows.

We also carry a very wide variety of finish options as well (Kohler, Delta, Andersen windows, Pella windows, etc.) 

Custom blinds, new bedroom windows and minimal landscaping.

The lower level also received new electrical, water heater, paint, carpet, windows, and a new drop ceiling.

Does anybody have a philosophy of putting higher quality blinds that actually block most of the light out in their B and C grade units to prevent tenants from wanting to put up additional window dressings?

what are the main things you need when looking into a Mortgage loan, lets say i want to buy a Duplex. what does the bank need in order to give a loan.  

However, with that multitude of knowledge I've gained (and still searching and learning) my biggest concern now is after I accept the offer, relocate, and start getting paid I want to ENSURE that I dont suffer from "Lifestyle Creep" and focus all of my money on preparing myself and my bank account for getting started in real estate investing.So my question is this,Should I seek a financial planner or an accountant to help me manage my finances to achieve my goals in real estate investing?
