yes I definitely think the trade-off between losing some closet space but gaining a washer and dryer in the unit itself has proven itself much more appealing to somebody looking for an apartment, and they definitely pay more to have the washer and dryer over closet storage space

Hello,I am working towards my first rental that I will need to rehab and was needing advice on the creativity and visual appeal of the rehab.

i bought a property which was great in many ways and terrible in many other ways.its near the river, near the zoo, four schools, 2 shopping plazas, 20 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from the train station, 40 minutes from a major university, 5 minutes from a major hospital, 5 minutes from the nearest commercial hub, 40 minutes from another major city and has great tourism industry, commercial hub and everything is a tick EXCEPT the fact that when I purchased the house, it was a sad little brick house in a sad little part of town, with sad qualities and below average appeal.

As an investor, this $60,000 in my pocket is more appealing and beneficial to me for a real clean start in the investing world.

Don’t forget;  you can charge much more in interest on personal property than you ever can with real estate.Not sure how large your site is but fencing the land might make it appealing for outdoor storage of boats and RVs.  

I feel like the Dave Ramsey stuff appeals to a mindset that prefers to be debt free. 

If you want to play with the whales and sharks you better come with something bigger and more appealing to eat!

I think we're pretty close (other than TX which looks real appealing). 

This makes things appealing to any retail tenant (especially food and beverage) and because of the garage, we could essentially  build on our 5000 sq foot parking lot, parcel it off, redevelop it into outdoor space, or whatever we like.

But generally, you shouldn't be using hitting the jackpot as your investment philosophy.also as a realtor, I'd remember that a 2-year-old house is kind of one of those tweeners that is not going to appeal to the new construction buyer as they want to be the first to own/buy a house in an area and they don't want it previously occupied.
