Is it better to just redo the main bath or open up to half-bath and make one large nice bath with walk-in shower?

Around here, a nice fixed up house in the $100-150K range will move pretty quickly, even in neighborhoods that have a lot of foreclosures.

Thanks for the nice words.

There is a nice market for landlords who allow pets.

Then there are others that are closing deals left in right and generating some nice profits.

Very nice additions.

You could just as easily start out buying and holding and end up a millionaire in 5 years with enough cash flow to support a very nice lifestyle.Buying and holding should be implemented when you have plenty of cash reserves and is a hedge for your money.... profit preserving strategy..

When someone says, "Sure, I'm gonna sell my house to you"; the lender says, "Here's your approval letter for payoff", the buyer says, "Here's my offer", the title agent hands me that nice check at closing.

If you get out on nice Saturday and Sunday afternoons you'll hit open houses and be able to do some looking without having an agent involved.

Now, 17 years later, I have a nice system for oning rental property and great equity lines so I can and do what ever the market says makes sense.I think the RE game takes money.
