Hi Mark, it wouldn't be a bad idea to sign up for any courses involving commercial real estate investing or browse the book stores for related topics.

As soon as someone stepped into the front door, they were impressed because everything was fresh and new looking.

Imagine all the grocery stores that would miss out on tailgate food, clothing retailers of apparel, bars that have specials on Monday nights!

This sounds like a store front.Having tenants responsible for maintenance isn't too unusual.

Since we own a large number of rental units ourselves as well, if the AC unit is in good condition and especially i it has the life left in it that J Scott refers to, we will pick the unit up and store it and place it at the next rental property where the AC needs to be replaced.

It can be found in most book stores as well as online at Amazon.

Store it in your own basement in hopes to get paid?

My hold time is estimated at 2 to 5 years before I trade up to another property.Either sell to another apartment owner or a developer who will tear down for their new build project.An assisted living facility would be perfect because of the median income and demographics of the area.I could just tile the whole thing.In the front where the dining room is on the vacants the fake vinyl wood floor has been eaten up by the previous tenants.This is why I feel tile would work best.The contractor said to have an extra box stored and then if one tile brakes etc. it's easy to replace one by one.Just didn't know if upstairs in the bedroom tile would work or if the tenant wouldn't tolerate it.I know many tenants have small kids and even with an area rug prefer carpet in the bedrooms.I want durability but at the same time don't want to deter renters so it has to be a balance of durability and tenants needs to get them to rent from me.Thanks for the discussion as I think this topic is great info and food for thought.

After she got the Kindle it was all I could do to get her to go to a store.

All garages have loads of stuff and junk stored.
