Here's the one that has developed over the decades for me:On deciding how nice to make a rental in preparing it for rent, I have two primary areas I consider:1) What kind of return will I get from the improvements I'm considering?

How much are you paying to have a simple Corporate return prepared?

I am in Bloomington IL. and just getting prepared to do my first deal.

I just bought some from USprobateleads.com today.There are a few other probate lead providers out there too that you should be able to find with a Google search or two.Just consider yourself warned; probate leads can be expensive, so be prepared to make the most out of them by committing to mailing the Personal Representatives/Executors repeatedly, as most of them won't be ready to sell right-away.

Although I have a liberal arts degree, I've viewed myself as an entrepreneur since a college internship.I have spent the last few month reading book about the basics of REI, financing, and landlording, as preparation to when I have the funding to starting investing.

We didn't have an LLC at the time and weren't prepared.

Plus there is a good amount of Rah rah so be prepared for that.

But, 6" or 14" it's still $175 to clear the multis, so I guess we got our money's worth this morning.Our "new" snow removal service called when they were finished to report all properties had been cleared (I had asked them to clear the student houses, in preparation for their return this weekend) and that they had hooked a brand-new window well we installed in August at one of the house (which would only be a $100-$150 and an afternoon of digging next spring if it weren't for the fact we paved the drive this autumn).

There's a lot involved in getting ready for a shift of preparing and selling food.

If they ask why I say "For inspections, contractor estimates, to prepare a scope of work etc."
