And it took 8 months...In your situation, you should look for a light fixer-upper so you can get comfortable with the pricing and the process.

This allows me to position the property for my clients in the best light.

Add in bathroom(s), electrical, plumbing, flooring, paint, lighting, etc. and the costs add up.  

In a nutshell, a guest left a tenant's apartment, went down the common area stairs, where ALL the lights were burned out, tripped on the bottom stair, and crashed through a plate glass window.

Are people are smart enough to know by talking over phone or looking at me that I do this for kicksThis was my favorite After several days with little sleep yesterday I met with two couples at a rental The good and the bad First couple the woman started up her mouth coming in the door, at full volume screeching how she didn't like light colored carpet.

LED/CFL and even Halogen light bulbs are more efficient than incandescent lighting.

And if there ARE comps - well then, it doesn't matter whether I replaced a light bulb or gutted the place during a rehab, my property is still comparable to these others.

When I first glanced and saw the white, bright light, in the clouds, I thought it was a second coming of his truly!

This is not smart, since when they sell the house, the unpermitted improvements will come to light. 

A light went off in my head.
