Many offices and stores have them to keep their staff from playing with the thermostats.

Behind that building was a nice brick building used for storing records, free standing about the size of a large garage with a roll up door on one side and entry door on the other.

Our real estate taxes are climbing, foreclosures rising, services and education being drastically cut.If there were a real emergency and the food deliveries stop - the stores will be empty in less than a day.

We are starting to see the early impacts of inflation at the grocery store and some are predicting noticeable increases in gas prices.

The area is said to have been hit very hard, but I went to visit, and the property is on a pretty busy street (close to rite aid, McD, grocery store, , etc) and the town is not nearly as bad as people warned me it would be.

I am also wondering how much I need to have in store of cash to cover what rent may not.

I am off to Lowes and the paint store now.

I would not paint walls and ceilings the same color with any color darker than antique white.It makes more difference that the paint is fresh and clean than it does what color the ceiling is.

The rest of the property seems to be in good shape so the only "rehab" expenses aside from a fresh coat of paint would be to have the plans drawn up and the inspection and permits.

Now the banks have two options: lend it further at higher interest or store it in the bank as they do now to meet federal reserve regulations (unlike what they did before).
