The only complaint is that with the light rail there are a LOT of dumpster-diving and thefts near the stops.

This is why I always advise clients to err on the side of safety and just get licensed- particularly in light the AG’s officeSincerely, Jeshua T.

can someone with experience in it put more light on it?

Since I despise installing the Big Box 10 for $20 light kits, I try to find some interesting lights from these places.

I seek answers to questions like the best neighborhoods, negatives of older construction, utility cost averages, and some light financial advice.

Now, we realize that you may/may not be attorneys but maybe if you guys could shed some light on what works for you, that would be fantastic.Oh, and just to give you some background this will be a first-time flip and we already have an LLC in Georgia for a buy/hold property.Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

I think your original layout is probably basically acceptable; I would first switch the swing of the entry door so that it has hinges on the opposite side, still swinging inward but toward the tub; that allows for the light switch to be on the wall right next to the door opening where people expect it - with the existing swing the wall next to the door opening is in the tub and shower area and that is not good. 

Figure out what they want (e.g. 3 bed, 2 bath, built after 1980, light cosmetics only, less than $100,000 purchase and rehab)Step 3.
