That newer asphalt, or when it is resealed or newly striped, looks pretty sharp (but then you have some costs and maintenance), but I am not sure the attractive lot would bring much more in rent nor would gravel drive off good tenants.Finally, I shovel snow with the body sled type shovels and it would knock me out without a smooth surface underneath like asphalt or cement, so with gravel maybe check how that would work with your snow removal system (be it shovel, snowblower, or plow truck)...probably gravel best fit for plow truck...Best of luck

With a WordPress site, you own the hosting and most of the content you just use their CMS (Content management system).This allows you to be a bit more flexible with the places you host and how exactly you market you site, unlike the sites like Wix or SquareSpace.WordPress also makes it extremely easy to manage any leads, integrate new plug ins and really add valuable features to your site.Here is an example of breakdown costs:Wordpress Theme: $5-$50 (One time)Hosting from HostGator: $5-10/moDomain name - Namecheap: $14/yrCustom email address - Google Apps; $5/mo.MailChimp - to collect the emails and allow you to send out emails to a mass audience: $10/mo. or FREEYou of course don't have to do everything here, but it's a good example of the costs.

Do not cut any corners to make something look better.Always do the math analysis and try to look at the prospective properties before you make an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract that will allow you the time (about15 days) to make a detailed inspection of the property and possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that will hurt you too much.

Hi guysI'm new to real estate investing and I was considering applying the 50% rule to my deal analysis prior to asking my real estate agents for actuals.I'm assuming this will help build credibility with them and allow for more concrete inquiries rather than constantly asking them for information on deals that may never get done.What are you guys thoughts?
