@Mike Conklin Been renting units for clients and for my own investments here in CT for a while and I have never had someone rent or not rent an apartment based on the type of cooking heating source.The quality of appliance may matter to a tenant, new vs beat up, stainless vs plain white, etc.I would say just go with whatever source you prefer and don't get caught up in what the prospective tenant will think.  

 - I'm new to BP - is this the best forum for this type of advertisement?  

@Clayton Crouse thats a very complicated question and givin the strict regulations on these types of transactions you should rely heavily on a good CPA who know this sector of the business and the laws that go along with it. 

I was wondering what types of loans investors are getting after they have 10 loans out?

- Any construction company to recommend with special expertise in this type of construction? 

The exact type of situations I would want to avoid.

My main question is for those who search the MLS website, what types of homes are you looking for?

**Generally you will get 2 types of properties here - really big homes that are expensive or really run-down properties that are selling for cheap.  

@Jay Hinrichs   We have been having a major shortage of construction workers of ALL types in all of Texas so the carpet baggers will have to come from out of state.
