I wish we had started sooner but at least both our adult children are investing much earlier than we did.

The fact that the deposit doesn't even equal last months rent reveals that its not designed to be used as last months rent and is not part of the lease policies.

I would get a good CCIM designated broker to hep me.

The current value is what is et in the lease but if it goes dark what will the value of the property be in the open market and how hard will it be to repurpose the property and rent out due to it's design build and location??

I'm looking for an opinion on what to do and also feedback on my design thoughts.My design thoughts:- Granite counters- Get rid of upper cabinets in the foreground completely- Shorten the length of lower cabinets in the foreground, leave some of the granite counter "overhanging" for a little breakfast eating area (think tall stools)- Get rid of 1970s double oven (next to white fridge) and replace with modern SS oven/glass range with SS overhead microwave and upper cabinet above microwave- Ditch white fridge for modern SS fridge, have upper cabinets above fridgeMy question is, do you think it's weird to have the fridge right net to the oven?

Secondly, I think you have your list parameters well designed.

It's a clear elastromeric sealant designed for roofs but we use it on foundations above grade as well.

Any suggestions of designers on either one of those sites?

Get a binder and keep them in it all well as any magazine clippings of design inspiration or stuff you like and want to incorporate into the house. 6.

Making mailings is one way to find good deals, but the return on a mailing is very low and expensive.Doing a mailing campaign is a passive way to market for deals - If you want to accelerate your potential to make money in this business, I would suggest using active marketing ---Farming - looking for vacant, ugly houses - tracking down the sellers - make an offerSit in your local rent and housing court - no body wants to be there - great place to find burned out landlords who will be glad to discount their property to youExpired listing - these are sellers who have a property that did not sell - you can make their dream of selling a realality and profit at the same timeRather than licking stamps, designing silly yellow letters or post cards, stuffing envelops, buying postage, running to the post office or sitting home waiting for the phone to ring -- you'd be lot more successful by entering your market and doing peo-active marketing for the gold nuggets you are seeking.
