So day care, hair cutting, massages, psychic palm reading etc...are not allowed, but if they are selling stuff through eBay and needs the UPS or Fedex trucks to come pick up twice a day I don't have a problem with it.However with more and more people "subing" out rooms via Airbnb I wonder if I should add a clause in there specifically addressing it.I know many people are doing it because I use Airbnb when travelling overseas, and I often read in the ads SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS saying "...do not go to the property directly so as to confuse neighbors or property management, meet me at the designated meeting location then I'll guild you to the location quietly..."

My wife is a Computer Science major with programming web design and IT experience and is the Idea Engine of our organization (Iroko Properties), I am an Electronic's Engineer with 25 years of wireless telecommunications experience in Project and General Management a good combination to creatively move our business forward.   

I'd find a good landscape designer and spend money on quality low maintenance landscaping.

I'm not a lawyer, so don't take that as gospel.Section 13-80-127(1)(a), C.R.S. provides for a two year statute of limitation of actions against construction professionals like architects, contractors, builders, builder-vendors, engineers, inspectors, and those performing or furnishing the design, planning, supervision, inspection, construction, or observation of construction of any improvement to real property.Section 13-80-104, C.R.S. provides that in no case shall any action be brought against any architect, contractor, builder or builder-vendor, engineer, or inspector performing or furnishing the design, planning, supervision, inspection, construction, or observation of construction of any improvement to real property more than six years after the substantial completion of the improvement to the real property.

That carpet has probably been down for 20 years or more, based on the color and design. 

Since I was a teenager I have had a love for making an outdated home beautiful from my mom (who enlisted me for help due to her lack of eye for design) renovating her home.

I wonder if people can comment on two strategies and how they might interact with certain lifestyle design desires.The two strategies are staying cash flow positive or neutral in order to play the long run appreciation game, and going for higher cash flow right off the bat, but perhaps sacrificing some long term appreciation.

@Ruchi Patel --The Green Card is handled by the NJ Dept. of Community Affairs (DCA), which is a state level agency.From a City standpoint, you'll have a number of hurdles, both zoning and building related.The property's zoning designation may not permit a 3-family use as of right (per the current zoning code), so in order for them to allow a conditional 3-family use, you'd need a variance.If they grant the variance (which is a process in and of itself), you will likely face challenges from a building standpoint as well as they may require you to bring certain elements of the building up to code (i.e., fire suppression / sprinkler system).

IF it's on a concrete pad, natural gas fire pit and direct hook up for the BBQ, then it's probably not going to be an issue.John, since you are starting from scratch, as long as this is contemplated while designing it, you are good to go. 

Was there a reason that you added those bricks on the bedroom wall behind the TV or was that just a design element?
