My comment was that a potential investor was more likely to invest money with a college graduate that had a little more life experience than someone who was fresh out of high school trying to raise capital before they had any ability or track record of providing a return.

How do you keep the sheets fresh in the box?  

Yes, we live in the sticks, and yes I have to drive an hour to get my iPhone fixed, but old growth redwoods are just down the road, the rugged coastline an hour away, the produce is fresh, the wine is good, the weather is great (okay it gets a bit hot and dry in the summer) and if I feel the need for some urban time, a day trip or weekend trip are easy down to the Bay Area is easy.

Im sure you could provide a different fresh perspective into this

Should be lower (I used to think 10%) because homes freshly rehabbed.

My question is, what would you do fresh to this world if you in our position knowing what you know now?

If your interested in buying rentals turnkey freshly regained..I am dealing w Midwest equity partners.... very honest and trustworthy Frank

For example: I would post "new fridge" or "freshly painted"  but I would not post "8 year old carpet".For example: I list a 3 bedroom for long term working professionals or families at $2200 even though nearby area can get up to 2500 a month for college kids.For example: You want $2K for F, L, and Sec Dep = $6K.....is that standard for your area?

Google says you need backlinks to rank.

You will have one backlink (no follow) but it counts as a citation.IC strongly suggests you do not reinvent the wheel, and I have to agree.
