I'd rather pay for someone to do it right, consistently and built most of that into the rent.I am curious if anyone has lease agreements for a home with a pool?

If you are on Long Island or in the 5 boroughs, if you cant figure it out, I can even come check it out and help you out.

-Who is going to make sure there is consistency with the exterior and landscape?

If you have multiple places, evaluate them all at the same time and be consistent.

- what Renatus was asking $15,000 for.If anyone reading this knows of a true Real Estate Investors Network or Meet-Up in NYC, Queens, Brooklyn or nearby New Jersey or Long Island please let me know.I'm also looking for a mentor and to assist local investors in finding deals, submitting offers, and basically being an investor friendly agent.

Here's an island kitchen idea, I put a 'wall' at the end of the island to run wire/gas down to the island from the ceiling.

Many tenants simply will not maintain it, and getting them to consistently pay half the costs may be difficult.

What's important is always relative to the person asking. does this website consist only of people that choose to bother me?

In direct mail, if you are consistent then you will get results.

@Steve Might  there may be other needs to break open the slab besides drains and water supply lines.Underground electric runs to a kitchen island for example...unless you want to add an ugly drop from the ceiling.When putting in new central air conditioning (previously window units) you need to have a condensate line out.
