Biggest takeaway-Make sure to use sound barrier caulk between the ceiling and wall, NOT drywall mud so that the sound vibrations do not travel easily to the wall thus transfering the sound and you hearing it there instead.

From my perspective, I would appreciate if more landlords would choose a method that is easily documented and re-producible and stick with it.

Second, the benefits of investing in landscaping for your rental is not necessarily 'quantifiable,' in the sense that you often can't easily correlate the work done to an increased dollar-amount for market rent.Where it can benefit you, though, is from a market-time standpoint.

I also agree with @Jay Hinrichs mold is usually created by a tenant, but also sometimes by an owner being neglectful, but whatever it is it is one of those issues for my renovation biz, even though I now know much more on mold (got great info from a mold removal guy here on BP too) and even though most mold is NOT the toxic strain, can be cleaned up relatively easily and IF the moisture source is eliminated, will not return.

Awendaw is the new Mount Pleasant.

Your CPA can be located anywhere as tax laws tend to be a national issue with a very few localized issues that most CPAs can research easily if they are not already familiar with them.An attorney should be local to where you are investing as real estate law changes not only state by state, but can vary county by county.

The idea would be to have a piece of software that easily helps in most cases, while quickly iterating to improve on those things that are needed. 

In the end, I went back and watermarked my photos a little differently so that they can’t be duplicated so easily.

I know a big selling point is the kitchen and bath, but I feel that this house could easily sell for 330k.
