Glad I discovered this post for my LTR: went with PPG Speed hide Eggshell for the walls (great price) and a semi gloss for the trim/doors.

I just bought some places in Missouri, where I've had to get some trouble tenants out, and discovered it wasn't nearly as easy as Colorado and Idaho had been for me;  so I'm learning about a due diligence I had forgotten about!  

Hey Joshua, I've studied the buffalo area.

I'd be curious as to what the city expected and got for its 90K and are those obligations transferred to a new owner, as it may come to bite you later.As others have stated there is a difference between old houses labeled "historic" and as I've discovered different jurisdictions have different understandings of what historic means and how much it is enforced, even sometimes in the same city.I currently own 3 old homes (1874, 1876, 1920something), one supposedly in an historic district.

It also gives them time to give their 30 day notice if they want to termnate the lease.Also, be very careful to study market rents befre you raise.

If that's what you're looking for, you might just have to break down and buy someone's home study course.But, do you really think this works?

I buy relatively good-sized apartment buildings and then pay for a cost segmentation study which allows tremendous depreciation in the early years.

The magazine studied data that also included the quality of health care, crime rates, weather and commute times in an effort to determine the 50 most fiscally sensible cities in America in which to live.
